Overview

Three seemingly unrelated events - a deadly mauling at the zoo, manslaughter in the park, and the appearance of a devastating political cartoon - come together and lead to startling conclusions. This psychological thriller demonstrates that a person can create incredible justifications when trying to absolve themselves of responsibility for a terrible event. A relentless police detective, Erin, is met with dead-ends at every turn until a final, devastating clue is disclosed. The epicenter of this three-pronged mystery is the Triple M Saloon, watering hole for police and lowlifes, priests and oddballs. The owner, Max, is a gambler who takes wagers on just about anything. He donates a large portion of his profits to local religious charities, hence his nickname God's Bookie. The heart of the story involves a psychological puzzle demonstrating that a person can create incredible justifications when trying to absolve themselves of responsibility for a terrible event. This self-anointed sanctification leads to further crimes designed to bolster the original flawed logic.
