Five missing boys. One protected predator. And a conspiracy that goes all the way to the badge.

For years, teenagers have been vanishing from the streets of the city. The police call them runaways. The parents call it a tragedy. But when a desperate mother begs Jack Morgan to find her sixteen-year-old son, Jack discovers something far worse than bad luck.

The trail leads to a terrifying pattern: every missing boy was a member of the same youth group. Every one of them disappeared in October. And every trail ends at the iron gates of St. Michael's.

This isn't a simple cover-up; it is a hunting ground.

Facing a system rigged by payoffs and a police captain who looks the other way, Jack and his daughter Katie must bypass the law to find the truth. But what waits for them in the dark isn't just a killer-it's a graveyard of secrets that powerful men will burn the city down to protect.

"Silence Behind the Altar" is a brutal, explosive thriller about institutional evil and the lengths a father will go to stop a monster.
