This was an interesting mystery novel. A priest is summoned by a neighborhood boy to the side of a man dying in the basement of an abandoned building. In the few minutes that they talk, the priest is intrigued by this mysterious man. The story is as much about the search for who this man really was as the search for the murderer. Along the way, the priest encounters a Jewish pawnbroker, an artistic young lady, and others. Father MacMahon is a very complex character, and is a bit ambiguous about his own faith, which troubles him. I enjoyed it.
