Synopsis: THE SANCTUARY is the gripping story of vigilante priest, Danny Hansen,
who is now serving a fifty year prison term in California for the murder
of two abusive men. Filled with remorse, Danny is determined to live
out his days by a code of non-violence and maneuvers deftly within a
ruthless prison system.
But when Renee Gilmore, the woman he loves, receives a box containing a bloody finger and draconian demands from a mysterious enemy on the outside, Danny must find a way to escape.
They are both drawn into a terrifying game of life and death. If Renee fails, the priest will die; if Danny fails, Renee will die. And the body count will not stop at two.

Review: This is not a book for the faint of heart- Dekker gives us another superb thriller that showcase the depths of human punishment
and cruelty, both inside and outside of our flawed corrections systems. He takes a simple moral compass and turns it on it's proverbial ear. What seems right and just, might not be. What seems wrong and immoral may be the righteous path. Can a human walk on both sides, or it that only God's milieu? Dekker crafts an emotional book that will attempt to answer that question. I started reading it, thinking I'd get through the whole book and made myself stop about halfway through, as I knew it would be a roller coaster ride, and I wanted to think on the first half. I'm glad I did that, as the ending was much more satisfying that way. If you've never read any of Dekker's novels, the book might be a surprise- a religious thiller- but well worth the read!
