In all the writing of the last few years about clerical child abuse, there's nothing like \u003cem\u003eCrimes of the Cross\u003c\/em\u003e.' —David Marr\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor many years, Newcastle was the centre of a sinister paedophile network run by members of the Anglican Church—and protected by parishioners and community members who looked the other way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this gripping book, Anne Manne reveals how this network avoided detection for so long, and how its ringleaders were finally exposed and brought to justice. At the heart of the story is a survivor, Steve Smith, who endured years of childhood abuse but refused to be silenced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on extensive research and interviews with survivors, clergy, lay people, police, and others, Manne explores how the network operated and became entrenched in the upper echelons of Newcastle society. She offers deep insights into the minds and strategies of abusers and pays tribute to the victims and their tireless struggle for justice. Child sexual abuse has previously been thought of as an individual crime; Manne pioneers an examination of it as part of a network.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is an unforgettable story of courage in the face of unthinkable evil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e'This story gripped me from the first page and refused to let go.
