A young man who has been brutally abused by his father is given his estate. A book. A single book. It was a beautiful book, bound in soft leather with gold leaf trim. On the cover, in faded gold, was the single word, Virtue.Where had the book, or even the idea of a book, come from? His father’s idea of reading never went beyond the sports page.

In the unique, poetic voice of Ken Bruen, one of today’s most brilliantly original crime writers, The Book of Virtue offers mystery, crime, suspense, violence, and humor.
