Thomas Pendleton loves his wife, Ann, and six-year-old son, Seth, more than anything, but his job often makes him an absent husband and father. One day, after Thomas leaves on a business trip, his wife and son are killed in a car accident. Thomas shuts himself off from the world and is at home grieving when a cosmic storm enters Earth's atmosphere. Scientists are baffled by its composition and origins, but not nearly as much as they are by the storm's side effect: Anyone who has died and chosen not to cross over is suddenly visible and can interact with the living.

Ann does not return, but Seth does, and Thomas sees it as a miraculous second chance to spend time with his son and keep the promises he had previously broken. They set out on a trip to the Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC, but little do they know that they are traveling headlong into a social and political maelstrom that will test Thomas in ways he could never imagine. Along the way, they come face to face with armed kidnappers who want Seth for his supernatural abilities, meet up with a medium, the ghost of a slave boy, and encounter none other than Abraham Lincoln.

Citing an overpopulation problem caused by the "Impalpables," the government begins to take drastic measures. Military scientists have a device called the Tesla Gate that is said to return "Impals" to where they were before the storm. Many have nicknamed the controversial machine "the shredder" because no one really knows if it will do what it is reputed to, or if it will instead shred the Impals — effectively destroying the soul. Thomas is determined to do everything possible to save Seth, or at the very least, ensure that Seth doesn't have to endure his sentence alone …

After five weeks of dry weather, the fields and roads of Lancashire are suddenly flooded by heavy Bank Holiday rain. Roads are blocked, streams become impassable, and debris that has lain stagnant in the summer weeks is uprooted. Among that debris — a body. Detective Inspector Peach, with the help of Detective Sergeant Lucy Blake, must solve a case that, had it not been for the freak weather, would have lain undiscovered for years.

The body is identified as Father John Bickerstaffe. But who would want to kill a man of religion who was widely respected in the local community? As DI Peach and DS Blake delve into the life of the Priest, they soon discover that he is not the only victim in this case …

When the Bishop Hogan summons them to reveal shocking details of the secret life of Father Bickerstaffe, they realise that he had a terrible secret. A secret which caused not only his downfall, but also his death. Recently disgraced, Father Bickerstaffe left a wealth of potential killers in his wake.

As the case unravels, and the potential suspects stretch from religion to politics, DI Peach and DS Blake must ask, how far would a parent go to protect, or to avenge, their child?

Review: The Sun Is God by Adrian McKinty

A Mysterious Review of The Sun Is God by Adrian McKinty.

Review summary: The contributing elements to this true story-based murder mystery are intriguing, from well-developed lead characters to a vividly described colonial island setting at the turn of the 20th century, but the storyline itself lacks dimension and isn't all that interesting or compelling. (Click here for text of full review.)

Our rating:

The Sun Is God
Adrian McKinty
Seventh Street Books (September 2014)

Publisher synopsis: Colonial New Guinea — 1906: a small group of mostly German nudists live an extreme back-to-nature existence on the remote island of Kabakon. Eating only coconuts and bananas, they purport to worship the sun. One of their members — Max Lutzow — has recently died, allegedly from malaria. But an autopsy on his body in the nearby capital of Herbertshöhe raises suspicions about foul play.

Retired British military police officer Will Prior is recruited to investigate the circumstances of Lutzow's death. At first, the eccentric group seems friendly and willing to cooperate with the investigation. They all insist that Lutzow died of malaria. Despite lack of evidence for a murder, Prior is convinced that the group is hiding something.

Things come to a head during a late-night feast supposedly given as a send-off for the visitors before they return to Herbertshöhe. Prior fears that the intent of the "celebration" is not to fete the visitors but to make them the latest murder victims.
