Publisher Description
This story takes place during World War II. It is about pride, bigotry, love, and deceit. It sends Vince Romano, an innocent young man, to prison due to false testimony about a one-night affair with a soldiers wife, Valerie Farr, who later cries rape to cover the affair. Through the confessional, a priest, brother-in-law to the allegedly raped married woman, learns the truth about the affair. However, by canon law in the Catholic world, he cannot reveal the truth, even under penalty of law. Arnie Swartz, a press reporter, accidentally hears the alleged confession and reveals it during a new trial, creating doubt as to the charge of rape.
There is much to do with relationships, family, and others, along with romance, violence, intrigue, and jury tampering. A military adventure results in a strong bond between two men of different cultures, who become entangled in the rape jury trial.
