Every Bit of a Circle is Bent

The Fifth Estate - Book III

Skilfully sledging the crooked scammers who continue to plunder the community chest, Terence McLernon extends his knowledge as a former police officer and private investigator to unravel the corrupting structure of white collar crime. His unforgiving exposure of the iniquities of High Church sexual abuses continues unabated. Indeed, the visit of the Pontiff to Australia for a World Youth Day provides a vehicle for his wry observation that if he had been Police Commissioner, "… and some short Italian with a name starting with Rat, whose predecessors infamously used stand over tactics to make a huge fortune from tithing, landed his jumbo jet on my beat, then, surrounded by armed bodyguards, alighted wearing a dress and little red booties -- claiming to be JC’s representative on Earth -- I would immediately have him arrested, drug-tested and his plane searched for missing orphans."
