California Highway Patrol Lieutenant, Erin "Red" Wolff, call sign 95-L, is a street-smart, tough cop, and a great leader. She also happens to be gay. A twenty year veteran, she is assigned to command the Highway Patrol's most remote location, Crescent City. Here, nestled on the Pacific Ocean and the border with Oregon, among the magnificent Redwood forests, she finds police work, and people's attitudes towards gays in rural Northern California, is much different than in the big city. When two of her officers are brutally murdered, 95-L finds herself confronting small town politics, jurisdictional disputes, and a homophobic county sheriff with his own checkered past who is more concerned with getting reelected than solving the murders. The local authorities' investigation doesn't pass the "smell" test. Someone has been planting evidence, trying to steer the investigation in a different direction, and everyone is only too anxious to pin the murders on an ex-con. Everyone except 95-L. Driven to find the real killer of her officers, 95-L launches her own investigation that leads from Malibu, to a clandestine "meth" lab in the remote mountains of a National Forest, and to a twenty-five year old unsolved murder in Virginia. It also leads to the realization that somewhere on the North Coast there's a serial killer preying on rich women.

Cardinal Ratzinger addresses the challenges and responsibilities that both the Church and society in Europe face after the collapse of Marxism. Both liberalism and Marxism have denied religion the right to have any influence on public affairs and the common future of humanity. Since there is also a great spiritual emptiness growing in the West with the increased secularization, consumerism and hedonism, Ratzinger's comments apply as much, if not more, to the United States as well. With the downfall of Marxism, religion has been discovered anew as an ineradicable force for both the individual and society. While there is renewed interest in religion, the dangers also exist to lay hold of religion as an instrument to serve various political ideas. Ratzinger, whose theological work has often dealt with the "reasons for our faith," reflects upon the various problems facing humanity at this turning point of our history and offers genuine hope based upon a deep Christian faith. He also addressed the critical role that the Church has in relationship to the world and the essential task of bringing Christ back into our culture.
