Murder in the Missions: A True Story (Unabridged‪)‬

Irish missionaries Fr Des Hartford and Fr Rufus Halley travelled to the Philippines, a country divided by violence and sectarianism, in the late 1960s. For many years they lived peacefully in the Muslim-dominated areas of the island of Mindanao, working to bring about a positive dialogue between the Christian and Muslim communities there. But in a volatile environment where kidnappings and attacks were everyday fears, both priests ultimately found themselves caught up in the conflict, to terrifying effect.

Murder in the Missions tells the real story of missionaries working in dangerous places, where faith, fear, and politics collide. Based on true events, it follows the people who gave up everything to serve others; and what happens when that trust is betrayed.
