In the small town of Hope, Roland Recht is a detective, a deeply religious man trying to understand his place in an increasingly secular world. And his latest case hits him harder than usual.
For two years, the Congregation of Saul lived in near isolation awaiting God’s judgment upon the Earth, but when His wrath failed to materialize, the group fractured. Now their pastor has been murdered, and the only witness is the group’s newest and youngest follower.
At first, It seems clear that a former cult-member must be responsible, but when Recht and his girlfriend suffer a personal and terrifying threat, the investigation sends Recht and his partner in a new direction, one that no one – not his superiors, and not the FBI – wants him to pursue.
Never the Sinner sees a good man forced to choose between his career and seeing true justice done.
