Hades' Redemption - Paperback

by Dixie Jo Jarchow (Author)

Friar Hades is a man on a mission to save some souls, hoping to atone for a myriad of sins committed during his time in the military. But, before that can happen, he's got to be accepted by the tough people of the isolated quarry town.

The good Friar felt more comfortable on the streets of New York City eating things out of the garbage alongside the street people than with the bratwurst chowing, coffee swilling, football fanatics of Fell, Wisconsin. But, as the church secretary informs him, "Fasting won't impress anyone here. They'll step right over your body to get to the buffet line."

Can the Friar find a place in the hearts of the people of Fell? He's a tad short of social graces and his face and body are scarred as a result of torture he received at the hands of the enemy. His robes could use a good washing and he's prone to screaming nightmares.

When a dead girl floats to the top of the quarry lake, the Friar is forced to resurrect his mythical skills as a hunter of men, to save his flock. But can he save the murderer's soul even as he stops the killing?
