Featuring the brilliant criminal lawyer-turned-monk/ detective whose specialty is the intersection of murderous deeds and moral questions and "reminiscent of the early works of John le Carré . . . blending sharp suspense and literary resonance," William Brodrick's Father Anselm novels are "classics in the making" (Jeffrey Deaver).In The Day of the Lie, Father Anselm receives a visit from an old friend with a dangerous story to tell--the story of a revolutionary in Eastern Europe during the icy grip of the Cold War.As a young woman, Roza Mojeska was part of an underground resistance group in Communist Poland. Betrayed by someone close to her--someone still unknown--she was sent to the dark of a government prison and forced to make a terrible choice that would haunt her to this day.Now, decades later, Father Anselm peels back years of history, decades of secrets, a half-century of lies, in order to expose a truth that victim and torturer would keep hidden. A perceptive examination of guilt and redemption, The Day of the Lie is a gripping, intricate mystery.

Brodrick layers this exquisitely plotted tale with startling reversals and carefully observed moral questions.
In William Brodrick's prize-winning series of moral thrillers . . . Mr. Brodrick, a former Augustinian friar who became first a lawyer and then a novelist, proves himself to be as adept as his protagonist at playing God's advocate on behalf of all the compromised characters the reader encounters. Whatever twists of fate that may be thrown at Father Anselm, he stays on the side of the oppressed.--Tom Nolan
A great treat for those of us who cut our mystery teeth on G. K. Chesterton's Father Brown stories--as well as for readers intrigued by the frictions of Europe's small nations and large conflicts . . . a complex and intriguing tale.
An appealing and accurate study of life in the totalitarian communist states of Eastern Europe during the Cold War [featuring] paranoia, fear, betrayal, and the raw struggles of survival.
A highly rewarding novel to read . . . not to be missed. Brodrick is an expressive writer who displays a steady voice and a sure hand with his characters, his sense of history, and his exploration of powerful themes. The Father Anselm thriller series is highly recommended.
William Brodrick takes us on a deep dive into fascism and resistance with this story of 20th-century Poland and one woman's suffering for her role in the struggle.--Salem Macknee
Extraordinarily moving: a thoughtful and extremely well-written tale not only about the lengths to which an oppressive regime will go to protect itself from its people, but also about the unexpected burdens of freedom.
The haunting, utterly magnificent new novel from the bestselling author of The Sixth Lamentation (a Richard & Judy selection) and A Whispered Name (winner of the CWA Gold Dagger).
