Free Downloads Sinner: A Novel
An attack at St. Anthony's Cathedral leaves behind a symbol of the mythological Sinner—a vigilante legend since the days of the Civil War—and sparks the curiosity of investigative writer CK Ivors. CK begins a relentless pursuit of the legend, only to discover that myth is often based on truth—and is sometimes more dangerous than it ought to be. As she edges closer to peril, she also fins an intriguing diary that may shed more light on the mystery surrounding the Sinner. Entries in the journal are fragmented and dreamlike, but also indicate there's more to the situation than meets the eye. Throw in a millionaire, a mystery cottage, and a few comic-book collectibles, and you've got the heart-pounding adventure that is Sinner.

First time novelist, Sharon Carter Rogers, delivers a compelling and original supernatural thriller with her first novel "Sinner." Rogers single-handedly renewed my hope in a genre that for far too long has lived underneath the safety of Frank Peretti's impressive shadow. Rogers has blazed her own trail offered us a hero who must fight the demons within, not without."Sinner" is the story of how investigative writer CK Ivors crosses paths with a shadowy figure known as the "Sinner." CK's historical work has made her aware of the legend of Sinner, a vigilante who been spotted in the margins of history for the past 150 years. CK takes it upon herself to track down this inky figure until she finds her story irreversibly wrapped up in his.The character, "Sinner", is unforgettable. Sinner's vigilantism is driven by self-loathing and hatred for those who prey on the weak and defenseless. The Sinner not only battles himself and the wanton, but the God who he believes has forsaken him. His brand of justice is as brutal and pugilistic as that of the evil he fights. I can't say more without getting into "spoilers" but I classify the Sinner in the same genus of hero as Batman. I'll be sorely disappointed not to see more Sinner novels in coming years.CK Ivors is another compelling character who quite frankly merits another novel or two. In the novel CK's royalty checks have allowed her to assemble a large colorful staff to assist her. Rogers created fine characters to assist CK and I'd love to see their further exploits as well.Parents should note that the world of "Sinner" is dark, gritty and violent. The book opens with priest exposed in a sexual abuse scandal. Sinner's assaults on criminals are both surgical and barbaric.
