The Priest's Graveyard is a suspense novel authored by Ted Dekker, released in April 2011.
Synopsis
Renee Gilmore, once addicted to heroin, shares a seaside glass home in Malibu with her partner Lamont Myers. Their world is upended when Lamont vanishes after mentioning a dubious individual named Jonathan Bourque. Believing Bourque is responsible for Lamont’s disappearance, Renee embarks on a mission to locate and eliminate him.
At the same time, Danny Hansen, a Bosnian-born priest, takes it upon himself to punish criminals who have evaded the law. After killing Cain Kellerman—who alleges Bourque hired him—Hansen sets his sights on Bourque as well.
As Renee and Hansen pursue their respective quests for vengeance, their lives intersect, leading to a complex relationship fraught with hidden truths and deceit.
Sequel
In 2011, Dekker revealed plans for a sequel thriller initially called The Apprentice, later renamed Meltdown, and ultimately The Sanctuary. This follow-up continues the narrative of Danny Hansen and Renee Gilmore from The Priest's Graveyard. Danny finds himself incarcerated for the killings of two abusive men and lives by a vow of non-violence while in prison. When Renee receives a menacing package, Danny is compelled to break out to protect her. Released on October 30, 2012, The Sanctuary signifies a return to Dekker’s hallmark exploration of spiritual themes.
