Pastor Salvatore Satori is the tyrannical leader of La Sangre, an insular and isolated community on the Northern California coast. When Peter Freeman, retired running back for the San Francisco 49ers, unexpectedly arrives in La Sangre, the Pastor and his frightened congregation are forced to either face their individual truths, or hide from them by pursuing theft, deceit, adultery, suicide...and murder.
PRAISE FOR FATHER'S DAY:
Gary Kyriazi presents a complex and richly layered tale of small town passions and religious zealotry in his engaging novel, Father's Day.... The author is skilled at creating three-dimensional characters with compelling backstories....sudden story swings and rapidly changing points of view keep the narrative moving along rapidly, and the novel finishes with a surprise finale.... -BlueInk Review
Coincidence, Christianity, and the past collide in Gary Kyriazi's introspective morality tale...Father's Day takes on an unusual theme, explores the not-so-perfect lives inside an insular religious community, and delivers an ending that will register high on the surprise scale. Clarion Review - Three Stars***
With chapters written from the perspectives of multiple characters, a 1980s setting, and simmering small-town dread, the author successfully evokes the early novels of Stephen King. -Kirkus Reviews
