The gripping tale of a less than innocent - yet far from guilty - man unfolds as fifty-year old Pat Donaldson returns to Ireland, the land of his birth. Framed and imprisoned for a crime he did not commit, he finds himself the unwitting victim of Dublin's most ruthless drug baron, a man who acts with impunity from behind a shield of propriety, all the while aided from a cabal of corruption. All seems lost for Pat until one sole glimmering light of hope, in the form of a young and honest guardian of the law, breaks through the seemingly impenetrable mantle of fate to secretly champion his cause. Good deeds and intentions must combine perfectly with the finesse of legal machinations to triumph over what, on the face of it, seems to be the perfect stooge caught in the perfect set-up.

"Dit boek is een boeiend levensverhaal en tevens een handleiding voor allen (jong en minder jong) om zelf te schrijven." Ina Stabergh (Berthy Stas) Sommige (onverwachte) momenten zetten aan tot verzamelen van wat al jaren in herinneringen, in dozen, boeken en kasten ligt gestapeld. Verzamelen om als geheel te tonen. 'In het Oog van de Stilte: een parel' is een verzameling van gepubliceerd en niet eerder verschenen werk (van 1982 tot 2022): reis- en andere verhalen, gedichten, essays, inter- views, persoonlijke beschouwingen over ge- lezen boeken, e.a. Zoveel plaatsen waar gedachten groeiden in kleine en grote boe- ken in mijn hoofd en in de kasten en de kamers waar wij woonden (Sint-Joris-Winge, Scherpenheuvel, Bekkevoort, Diest, Webbekom en Assent). Ook verbleef ik nog twee jaar in O.L.Vr. Waver om er te studeren (internaat) en in Herentals (eveneens op internaat) om les te geven, later ook in Diest. De reizen in België, Denemarken, Duitsland, Frankrijk, Ierland, Nederland, Tjechië en Zwitserland die ik - samen met mijn part- ner en soms met kinderen en/of kleinkinderen - maakte, hebben samen met 'het reizen in boeken' een onuitwisbare indruk achterlaten.
