Nothing could be more serene than the life of Brother William, a young Benedictine monk who had turned his back on the world ten years earlier to retreat to a monastery in upstate New York. But then Lauren Wolfe, a troubled young poet, comes to use the library to research a book on Heloise and Abelard; one sight of the faint scars from a failed suicide attempt on Lauren's wrist is enough to turn the monk's life upside down. Every suppressed impulse rises to the surface: his desire to rescue and soothe her trumps his vows of obedience, poverty and chastity.

Detective John Cardinal of remote Algonquin Bay, Ontario is in mourning for his wife, an apparent suicide, when he starts receiving hate-filled notes gloating over his loss. Believing that his wife may have been murdered, he begins looking into who might be behind it. Meanwhile, his partner Lise Delorme is trying to track down the pedophile responsible for a cache of appalling photos featuring a possibly local girl.

Max and his nephew, Owen, seem harmless enough, the older fellow spouting Shakespeare while the younger drives him to tourist spots across the American southwest. But Old Max is actually a master thief, and young Owen's summer vacation is his careful apprenticeship in a life of crime. Pulling heists is scary enough, but they soon discover that The Subtractors (criminals who steal from other thieves) are on their tail, and Owen also begins to realize that the person he loves most in the world is the one who can do him the most harm.

In 1980s El Salvador, a young woman is detained in a government torture squad's head-quarters, suspected of supporting guerrilla forces.

Years later, this terrifying journey into human cruelty and courage still haunts the tormentor as dramatically as it does his victim.
