The Reverend Psychopath

This happened not long ago, the most searing images occurred. This could be anywhere around the world but it happened right here, in Ireland in the nineteenth century. Think of Oliver Twist - no porridge here!The court cases ... the press cuttings ... the mindset ..."Mr Lord asked what reason you had for running away. ... I suppose you were too happy in the orphanage.""A child absconds and goes missing. And is he worried about her welfare or even her whereabouts? Not at all. His greatest concerns are for the rags she is wearing and his property."The author kept the book short and readable. The manuscript was double the size, too many to mention here, so the writing was cut back. Just as well, as the reader will not be able to put the book down - it's nonfiction - it's unbelievable - it's shocking - the book is so gripping readers will want to keep turning the page to find out what happens next!This story has never been told. Now for the first time, the author tells the story, for those children. © Dr Andrew Rynne 2023
