The Blind Side

Here is Francis Clifford's powerful and suspenseful story about the clash of two brothers who respond to the horrors of the modern world in different ways. At a missions in starving, war-torn Biafra, Father Richard Lawrence commandeers an airplane to drop food and medical supplies to his parishioners. The air drop is a success, the the priest - a former pilot who saw action during the Suez crisis - is seriously wounded. In London, news of the priest's widely publicized flight reaches his elder brother, Howard, a naval officer attached to the Ministry of Defense. Using his influence, Howard has Richard evacuated to Lisbon and brought home. But it is only a question of time before Howard, at odds with his brother on idealogical grounds, is caught in an insidious web that leads to murder - and a final confrontation with Richard. The Blind Side is as difficult to forget as it is to put down. From its Harrowing scenes in Biafra to its shattering denouement, it is a steadily engrossing novel.
