Exposed

 
 

     When Rad Roberts, an aspiring criminal lawyer with the Iowa Attorney General’s Office, accepts an assignment to investigate a bizarre murder case, he has no idea how much of his personal life will be exposed as he uncovers a major criminal conspiracy.


The unusual murder investigation takes him from an Iowa pig farm to a Florida nudist resort and back to a Dubuque cathedral.  In the process, he experiences a new lifestyle and a new romance, both of which have serious repercussions for his marriage. While he struggles with these personal issues, Roberts uncovers a financial conspiracy at the highest levels of the Dubuque Archdiocese.  The revelations of criminal activity by high-ranking church officials rock this blue-collar Mississippi River community and set in motion a dramatic courtroom confrontation. Representatives of the church and the state become entangled in an epic legal battle that will change this community forever.


Exposed examines some of society’s peculiar sexual and moral inhibitions while taking readers on a sometimes funny and sometimes touching journey through the often-conflicting emotions of love, loneliness and lust.
