Tunnel Vision

A tense, thought-provoking thriller in which the charismatic Pat redeems a series of lost teenagers and brings them into the family of the Fellowship. The central character Joel is one of these, scarred by leprosy but able, through Pat, to release a great talent as a long-distance runner. Maria, deeply traumatised by her experiences in Uganda, is first helped by Joel and then helps him to understand what Pat is doing - he's a racist, using the Fellowship to further his aims and determined to plant a 'dirty' bomb in an athletics stadium. It's a great read with a marvellously dramatic climax.
