The timeless battle between savage and sacred A Jesuit priest unearths a tattered poetic manuscript from the nineteenth century. Against universal scorn, he makes the outrageous claim that it contains a series of word puzzles pointing to the whereabouts of the Cuxham Chalice, a priceless relic of England's medieval past. He suddenly disappears amidst a city in nightmarish turmoil over a series of brutal slayings, and two concerned friends are determined to find him. Pulled from a failed life in Colorado back to his old Oxford college, Myles Dunn joins forces with Eva Bashir—single mother, secularized Muslim and university librarian—to unlock the manuscript’s secrets. Battling police resistance, a shadowy Vatican agent and their own personal demons, Myles and Eva must decode the cryptic verse before the killer strikes again. Their friend’s life is not the only thing at stake. If they fail, the result will be upheaval and terror on a national and global scale. First conceived in the midnight gloom of an Oxford college refectory, Dark Sonnet embodies the creative and intellectual synergy of two writers dedicated to the art of spinning a good yarn. McCarthy and Dohar weave elements of history, theology and literature into a story that both entertains and elevates. The result? A formidable narrative in which first impressions deceive: neither the murders nor the manuscript nor the Vatican agent are what they appear to be. An uncozy murder mystery set amid the lengthening shadows of Oxford’s “dreaming spires.” A treasure hunt animated by the search for redemption and justice. A Victorian poetic icon, the wordsmith Gerard Manley Hopkins, desperately reaching from beyond the grave to lend clues. Dark Sonnet is a novel that makes the reader think: About what is true and what is subterfuge. About bigotry and tolerance. About guilt and atonement. About finding light and hope amidst darkness and despair. And about what it means to be human. Dark Sonnet is for any reader who likes:Labyrinthine mysteries that hinge on religious themesThe challenge of solving embedded codes and puzzlesSmart, multi-faceted layers of history, literature and word-craftStories that are relevant and timelyA perplexing thriller that unnerves and inspires
