Through it all, the question remains: who is Sam's father?
Why does a dream about his mother lead him to write to DS Adam Pennycome?
Adam Pennycombe is having enough problems with his investigation into a body on the beach. He unearths the story of three boys abandoned at a minor public school many years ago, and finds himself unpicking their complex relationship.
Meanwhile, he has a personal mystery of his own to solve. Why is his father not in touch, and what's he hiding?
And how will he respond to Sam Newley's letter?
The Hearts Of The Fathers is an honest but gracious examination of the often difficult relationship between one generation and the next, that builds on the first Adam Pennycome novel, From Whom no Secrets are Hidden. Written from a faith perspective, they pose the question: what do you do when you can no longer ignore the past?
What reviewers wrote about From Whom No Secrets Are Hidden:
"Absolutely absorbing"
"The twists and turns made me not want to put the book down"
"Well-paced, engaging crime novel"
"Fast moving, easy to read"
