Set in the beautiful New England town of Hamilton, Massachusetts, the rolling hills of Kentucky and the streets of Boston, "The Charity" brings the reader on a journey from innocence to guilt on the coercive power of a terrorist's heart.

The history and the people of the Irish Republican Army are used to weave a story that is as compelling as it is timely. "The Charity" will keep the reader glued to their seat until the last page is turned.

A legal thriller and suspense filled novel, "The Charity" will not disappoint.
