Acts Of Dog

Synopsis:

This is Part 2 of the Jesus’ Blood trilogy, known overall as ‘Acts’.  Part 3 (unfinished) is titled ‘This I Know’.

We follow the fortunes of many of the characters from Jesus’ Blood, some 7 years on, where both murder and guilt abound, yet only the innocent seem fit for punishment.  An incredibly complex web of interactions, plotted very much in the tradition of Voltaire’s ‘Candide’, and pointing to a world turned upside down, the kind of world that makes a mockery of the notion of a benevolent God.
