But when his loan shark suggests the murder of Ralph's wife, Bonnie, for the insurance money, he is appalled: \"He's a putz, maybe, possibly, all right, if you say so. But a criminal? A murderer? His own family?\" All he can think to do is get up and storm out of the room.\u003c\/p\u003e Nevertheless it happens. The story of how murder comes about, and what follows, is recounted in two threads that are interwoven in alternate chapters. One thread traces the crime: the automobile collision that changes Ralph's mind, the criminal investigation, and the trial. The other thread focuses on Bonnie's family: their loving and supportive relationships, the shock and grief after Bonnie's mother discovers the body, and the life changing ramifications following the verdict. Narrated in a breezy, conversational manner, \u003ci\u003eVoid Where Prohibited\u003c\/i\u003e nevertheless delves deeply into matters of substance and thought. Bonnie father, a devout Catholic, cannot understand why his family has been singled out for calamity. Bonnie's brother, a Catholic priest, wrestles with the requirement of his faith that Ralph's sin must be forgiven. The entire family has to confront the implications of the prosecutor's intention to negotiate a plea agreement with Ralph instead of bringing him to trial. How the family copes, and perseveres, will have you loving them as much as they love each other.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mike Borgos\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0595435874\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780595435876\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e iUniverse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/26\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.99lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.68d","brand":"Mike Borgos","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43990230532351,"sku":"9780595435876","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7dae0d59-0e93-46d2-ab78-a52cf759a9a2.jpg?v=1683303741","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/void-where-prohibited-mike-borgos-9780595435876","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
