CGiii Comment

What a pleasant and unexpected surprise this turned out to be...

Yes...it is a little preachy in places. Yes, it does run a little ragged in places. Yes, it is an improbable scenario...maybe, dropping the troubled detective would have helped.

But...it does deliver a pretty huge message - from the homo-friendly, heterosexual perspective - mightily rare in these troubled times.

The dedication at the end - is a touching sensitivity. Well done Mr Chapman - a good effort indeed.

Charlie, Charlie Charlie...this is a league and a half beyond the stilted acting of the Queer as Folk days - well done.

The(ir) Blurb...

A thriller in which a battle of philosophies between a fundamentalist Christian and an atheist escalates into a lethal battle of wills. Ultimately, as a test of faith, or lack of it, the believer forces the non-believer onto the ledge of a tall building. He then has one hour to make a choice between his own life and someone else's. Without faith in an afterlife, will he be capable of such a sacrifice?
