Former classics professor Bertrand McAbee, the reticent P.I and former classics prof, cannot avoid violence and mayhem. His high-powered brother is asked by the highest echelons in the Vatican to pursue the truth concerning a lawsuit brought against a priest who is a personal friend of the Pope. It's a charge of pedophilia. The priest, however, is considered by almost all who know him to be a man of extraordinary sanctity. Ostensibly at any rate, this should not be a case involving deadly violence. And yet it becomes so as McAbee probes into the priest's past and violence once again erupts into his world.
