The Spy and the Priest by Terry H Watkins

The Spy and the Priest by Terry H Watkins

Max and Andy bonded as adolescents, 7^th through 10^th grades. It may have been early childhood trauma that made them recognize each other as kindred spirits. Or it may have been their picture of the world, a few degrees off center from mainstream. After 10^th grade their lives diverged. Fifty years took them in directions presumed to separate them by an unbridgeable chasm. What a surprise when they met again as old men, drawn to each other as they had been as boys.

Their friendship, unlike either had experienced since, required exploring those disparate 50 years. Andy the priest, Max the spy.

Friends forever, Andy said, hooked together by our weird take on our weird jobs.

There are major bumps in the road to this new chapter in their friendship. When they discover someone they each knew, but in very different circumstances, it makes them wonder if they can trust each other.

The Spy and The Priest; Which Way to Heaven?, explores fragile friendship among men of high achievement. The compromises, the betrayals, the suspicions that power requires, test whether this friendship, a late-life treasure neither was aware of seeking, is worth the risk.

Colmore, Blayney: - Blayney Colmore, ordained an Episcopal priest in the tumultuous 60s, considered social and political radicalism as essential as faith and biblical exegesis. Over thirty years in four parishes-Ohio, Washington, D.C., Dedham, Massachusetts, La Jolla, California, hardly hotbeds of revolution, his anger at injustices grew to encompass compassion for the ambiguities that cause decent people to behave indecently. In 1996, he stepped aside from preaching to write. This is his fourth book. He and his wife Lacey, a noted interior designer, divide their time between Vermont and California.
