In the Name of the Father by Gerri Hill

Cover of In The Name of the Father


In this sequel to "Hunters Way," Dallas Homicide Detective Tori Hunter and Samantha Kennedy investigate the murder of a Catholic priest who is found naked and strangled in a fast-paced police thriller.


In The Name of The Father by Gerri Hill is the sequel to her 2007 novel Hunter’s Way, with Hunter’s newest case being investing the murder of a Catholic priest, complicated by publicity issues, homophobia, outside interference, and the attempts to bury any suggestion that the victim may have been in a consensual gay relationship.

In The Name of The Father is… Definitely not as enjoyable as Hunter’s Way, but it does have plus sides.
