How Everything Turns Away

Ezra James used to be a big deal: Harvard grad, FBI agent and a beautiful wife. After allegations of fabricating evidence on a serial murder case, he finds himself suspended, on the verge of divorce, and working security at a posh Catholic school in suburban Chicago.

          When a student teacher is attacked, then left for dead during a school event, Ezra, along with an up-and- coming female police detective and school chaplain, Fr. Remy Mbombo, must work fast before the culprit returns to finish the job.

How Everything Turns Away, an Ezra James Mystery, written by Steven J. Kolbe and recently released by the Wild Rose Press.

Our Review: For an intriguing insider’s view of a posh private school, where everyone—including the enigmatic school chaplain with as many secrets as the confessional booth—has an agenda. Combine this with a wounded hero who refuses to let life’s vagaries keep him down, and the reader has him/herself with a honey of a fast-paced mystery.

How Everything Turns Away is a story for that reader who appreciates dry humor, busybody PTA members, and smart-mouthed teenagers. Clearly this author is well acquainted with the ins and outs of an educational system as well as the rigors of foreign missionary work. Well done!!

On a scale of 1-5, How Everything Turns Away deserves a 7.
