From the Publisher

In this gripping novel Deborah Waters Gyapong, winner of the 2005 "Best New Canadian Christian Author" award, introduces us to Linda Donner, a Boston native, who travels north to rural Nova Scotia to take a post as a policewoman with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in hopes of finding balance in her life. Instead of a slower pace, things heat up as she becomes obsessed with a controversial pastor she thinks is guilty of arson, murder and child abuse. In the process she finds personal deliverance and new insights into God; only to later discover that her months of skillful, persistent police work have led to the framing of an innocent man. In time, she tracks the real murderer, cracks an international child porn ring and falls in love with a fellow Mountie who helps break the case.

    A Great Plane Read 5

    3 years ago

    The Defilers has all the components of a commercial bestseller: strong plot, interesting characters, suspense, surprise, and, at the right times, beautiful ambiguity. Gyapong’s characters are multi-dimensional; they don’t fit into simple stereotypes. The book tackles a difficult subject matter (the child porn industry) with grace. The Defilers is a good plane read—fast paced and well written—but its story will stay with you long after you disembark.

    "Best New Canadian Author" Delivers 5

    4 years ago

    If you pick up "The Defilers" by Deborah Gyapong expecting a light read, you've chosen the wrong book. This novel is gritty, fast-paced, and dripping with suspense. The main character, Linda Donner, a policewoman, investigates a murder where the main suspect is a local pastor. Several scenes might cause uneasiness as you read - the flashbacks when Linda recalls her childhood molestation by a priest, or scenes of intense spiritual warfare. But Deborah Gyapong writes of the physical world and… + read more

    Deals head on with tough issues in a dignified way. In-depth characters, edge-of-your-seat plot, and a page turner to the very end. Bravo Deborah!

    Highly Recommended 4

    4 years ago

    The Defilers gripped me with all elements of a good read: believable characters, skilful writing, and strong plot. I read it within 24 hours. The difficult topics of child abuse and demonic possession are handled with excellent skill and sensitivity, all told through the main character's eyes, Linda Donner, a RCMP constable. I became Linda, experiencing the strange community she found herself in, yet found the characters believable in spite of their eccentricities. Author, Deborah Gyapong… + read more
