Editorial Reviews

Product Description

In 1980 in Toledo, Ohio—on one of the holiest days of the church calendar—the body of a nun was discovered in the sacristy of a hospital chapel. Seventy-one-year-old Sister Margaret Ann had been strangled and stabbed, her corpse arranged in a shameful and stomach-churning pose. But the police's most likely suspect was inexplicably released and the investigation was quietly buried. Despite damning evidence, Father Gerald Robinson went free.

Twenty-three years later the priest's name resurfaced in connection with a bizarre case of satanic ritual and abuse. It prompted investigators to exhume the remains of the slain nun in search of the proof left behind that would indelibly mark Father Robinson as Sister Margaret Ann's killer: the sign of the Devil.

When Satan Wore a Cross is a shocking true story of official cover-ups, madness, murder and lies—and of an unholy human monster who disguised himself in holy garb.

1.0 out of 5 stars Breathless!True!Crime!, January 19, 2008
This was an incredibly interesting story,and an important one, if the accusations of systematic police cover-ups are to be believed. However, the style of writing never climbs beyond the realms of cliched tabloid sensationalism. I have never seen the use of "?!" punctuation outside of blogs before. The author seemed bizarrely driven to discuss 20th century films at inappropriate points of the book. The reader might be better served seeking out other books about this genuinely shocking case.

1.0 out of 5 stars You've Got to be Kidding!!!, May 6, 2008
By Jack Agliata (Mooresville NC USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
What a piece of amateur trash. I thought I was reading a college freshman term paper. Filled with enough fluff to fill 200 plus pages but could have been written in 75!

1.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely awful, January 27, 2008
Just an awful book, and I love the "picture in the middle books". Way too much of Rosen...I, I, I, I. Glaring errors when talking about Church matters - did not research thoroughly.
