About Absolution By Henry Hack:
A teenager, Joey “Noonz” Mastronunzio, is forced to participate in a
home invasion in Queens leaving a young couple dead and their infant son
an orphan.
Although he did not pull the trigger, he is determined to atone for his
actions that night by joining the Marines Corps and then joining the
seminary after his military service. The baby, Michael Simon, grows up
to become an NYPD homicide lieutenant determined to locate and arrest
the “guy who got away” from the scene of the murders. When Lieutenant
Simon finally discovers the identity of the second perpetrator, he is
shocked to learn he has known him most of his life.
What follows is an unlikely alliance between Simon and the Bishop of
Brooklyn as they uncover the rampant pedophilia in the Church. Battling
threats, intrigue, deception, and murder, the duo comes up against the
highest echelons of power in the NYPD and the Church as both
institutions desperately seek to keep their records of depravity and
coverups from ever being released to the public.
