Dr. Robert Hirsch

represented by agent Jeanie Pantelakis

Hirsch, who has experienced his own adversities concerning racial stigmas and Catholic doctrine, writes with distinct accuracy of the walled façade that individuals construct to insulate themselves against others and the terrors of life no less formidable than those constructed by powerful and established institutions. Contrition explores the dark underside of the conscience… that infected and decaying region of our past existence that draws each of us back to the pillories of punishment time and time again.

Robert Hirsch received his undergraduate degree from Cameron University and began teaching history and French.  Having earned his Master’s Degree at the University of Southern Mississippi and Doctoral Degree from Nova Southeastern University of Miami/Ft. Lauderdale, he is now serving as the superintendent of the Ocean Springs School District on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. This is his first novel. www.robertehirsch.com

Contrition

published by JournalStone Publishing – release date Spring 2013

 Contrition is a novel set in Gulf Springs, Louisiana. This is the book you will read during every spare moment just so can find out what happens next.

When Brother Placidus finds young Amanda Lefleur butchered in the attic of the Brothers of Holy Cross, he knew evil had entered their sanctuary…but it was not unfamiliar. Placidus intimately knew of the last person who hung from its rafters.

Peter Toche is assigned the murder case. His father had headed-up the last death in the Holy Cross attic and Toche’s last investigation was of another murdered child, who through dreams and visions has led him home just for this reason.

There had always been challenges from nature in this coastal community, but no one could imagine the terror which had decided to invade their midst; one that has existed for over a thousand years…or longer – perhaps.
