Richard’s second book, The Thieves of Faith, is about St.
Michael Pierre, who has lost his wife due to cancer, and because of her (and
the influence of his friend, Genevieve), decided to retrace his roots and
search for his family. Little did he know that he was going to be dragged back
into the world of thievery and deception, where not just he, but his family and
friends, was in peril.
In this book, Julian Zevira, the leader of a (very rich
cult) is looking for a mysterious box hidden somewhere deep in Russia , and he
kidnapped Michael’s father to blackmail Michael to search for it.
The theme of family love and hatred is very strong in this
book. Julian is supposedly the child of Genevieve but in the later part of the
book, the reader would discover that Julian is actually the son of a madman and
another woman who had sought the help of Genevieve to bring him up as her own.
Genevieve’s love for the mother made her take care of her as well as her son.
He also has a brother who is bent on killing him.
From the book, one knows that Julian is filled with
darkness, as he had been killing animals at a young age without remorse. Later
in life, he even killed his wife and father in law. However, he kept insisting
in his own mind that he loves his adopted mum, yet repeatedly trying to kill
her. The theme of good and evil is very apparent, and the idea of being
inherently bad is thrust through Julian and his birth father.
I enjoyed reading this book. I love the way Richard Doetch
end it with hope in mind. And that good will always triumph, even though it is
very clique.
