Weapons of Remorse
Listing Details
WINNER OF TWO INDEPENDENT PUBLISHING AWARDS! Hank Phillips makes his living defending the right to bear arms. Privately, he doesn’t ever want to touch a gun again. Hank is an ex-Marine whose heroism in war earned him the Medal of Honor and a high-profile job with Armed and Ready, America’s most powerful gun rights organization. He has a devoted wife and son, millions of admirers, and a bright future. But what Hank values most is his relationship with God. He believes his war record has poisoned it, and he prays that God will let him atone. One night, a confrontation with police officer LaRonda Cage brings disaster upon Hank, his family, his employer and LaRonda, an exemplary cop burdened with responsibility for her disabled father. The fallout, combined with a child's kidnapping, creates a snowball effect that threatens to destroy Armed and Ready, and even endanger the Second Amendment to the Constitution. Weapons of Remorse looks behind the headlines to explore the personal consequences of America’s gun violence dilemma.
