When Wrong Shall Fail

(In keeping with the Christmas spirit, the author has dedicated 50% of his royalties from this novella to a charity that houses and feeds the disadvantaged.)

Five trials. Five moments in history. One man's last chance for redemption.

James Brudenell-Bruce, a bitter and lonely criminal lawyer approaching 50, is visited on Christmas Eve by Angelika, the Angel of Death. Given a terminal diagnosis, he is offered a chance to extend his life by completing five supernatural "labors" that will test his character and reweave the frayed thread of his existence. These trials force him to confront his cynicism and rediscover the virtues of hope, faith, justice, mercy, and, ultimately, sacrifice.

When Wrong Shall Fail masterfully blends the somber reality of a modern man's spiritual crisis with the high-stakes drama of living in a crushed world. The atmosphere is tense and reflective, moving from the cold, sterile feel of James's Calgary condo to the visceral mud of high intensity conflict. At its heart, this is a profound and unapologetically spiritual story about redemption, the weight of choices, and the possibility of a second chance, even at the eleventh hour.
