Reviews
I've long admired Jamie Mason's thriller work, but Biker Funeral is a huge cut above. Can you imagine a Jesuit priest who was once a police officer? Who's placed in a struggling church in the middle of a remote village in British Columbia? And who's involved with feuds, murders, and crimes among biker gangs, the Catholic church, and the local First Peoples? Jamie Mason has and does it with skill, unforgettable characters, and superb writing. If there's something known as Rural Canadian Noir, Jamie Mason is now its king. Highly recommended. -Brendan DuBois, award-winning and New York Times bestselling author Who's more badass than a big, burly biker gang brandishing pistols, Uzis, and bloody murder in their hearts? Father Michael Barrett, a disgraced priest with a drinking problem, a foul mouth, and a hot temper, that's who. Jamie Mason has created a haunted, complex, two-fisted protagonist in Father Barrett. A reluctant hero with darkness in his soul, but one who refuses to give up on the light. He talks too much, drinks too much, and fights too much... But he also never backs down. -Mark Allen, author of The Assassins series
