Indra should have had the easiest life available in his rural Nepal village. After all, he was born to a wealthy Brahmin family, the highest rung on the ladder of the country's rigid caste system. Instead, rejected by his birth father, Indra was raised as an Untouchable by a family who did not want him. Young Indra's keen intellect and burning curiosity eventually not only uncovered the truth of his birth but caused him to look at the caste system and ask why for the rest of his life. His amazing true journey from Untouchable to Brahmin Hindu priest to devoted Christian minister would take him through desperate poverty, wealth and power, devastating betrayals, miraculous survivals, and an ending that even Hollywood could not have scripted. Through it all, Indra, turned Joseph, would learn that God was always with him along his personal road of grace because God had known him first.
At 538 pounds, Rick Salewske lived a small life that consisted of his job, his house, and his car—and he was very close to no longer fitting into his car. His stomach rubbing on the steering wheel had already worn a threadbare line across his pants. Often ridiculed by total strangers, he felt humiliated and very much alone. Rick had been raised in a traditional Catholic family, but his relationship with God was more of a distant, respectful belief than an up-close and personal experience. He couldn’t fit into a church pew and most definitely not into a confessional booth. What Rick didn’t know was that even then, God was actively pursuing him, even when Rick was not pursuing God at all...

The sequel to The Birds That Stay - hailed by the New York Journal of Books as "a fascinating and gripping tale of suspense" and the Globe and Mail as one of "Ten thrillers that will keep you on the edge of your seat". Says Ann Cleeves of the new book: "it's about power and powerlessness in the dead of winter. And more than that, it's a rollicking good read." The Dogs of Winter begins after a howling snowstorm envelops Montreal, and the body of a young woman is discovered in its wake. The only clue to her identity is the photograph in her pocket, and on it, the phone number of Detective Inspector Romeo Leduc. Meanwhile, Marie and Romeo are busy navigating their deepening relationship, and a student at Marie's college is the victim of a terrible assault. While Romeo begins to think that the dead woman may be linked to violence against several homeless people in the city, the search for justice in both cases is thwarted by societal apathy and ignorance, even as the killer is stalking the frigid streets of Montreal, preying on and terrorizing its most vulnerable citizens.
