Divine Lunacy — Kevin E. Gallagher

Called upon to aid a stricken priest, Orange County paramedic Phil Linch discovers to his horror that the aged cleric is the same man who molested him years ago as an altar boy. Phil soon unwillingly finds himself in league with a corrupt, politically ambitious DA, engaged in a devil's dance to frame the old man. Forced to forge evidence and lie under oath, Phil feels like he's selling his soul to right a moral wrong. Divine Lunacy is a rollicking comic novel about a deadly serious subject. Author Kevin Gallagher's satiric sword is razor-sharp and cuts a wide swath through a rich cast of characters out of Dante's Inferno by way of Ring Lardner and Damon Runyon.
