Is the devil in Eldon Fochs? Is he a sexual psychopath? Or is the church protecting him to blame?
Provost Eldon Fochs may be a sexual criminal. His therapist isnt sure, and his church is determined to protect its reputation. Father of Lies is Brian Evensons fable of power, paranoia, and the dangers of blind obedience, and a terrifying vision of how far institutions will go to protect themselves against the innocents who may be their victims.
