It's Father Paul F. Morrissey's duty, as an Augustinian priest, to
help relieve the pain and suffering of others. But what if the pain and
suffering is within the Catholic Church itself? That is the central

The cover shows a priest muffled by his own collar. "We are all muffled in some way, torn between loyalty and honesty," says Morrissey who, like the central character of his novel, serves as a prison chaplain and spiritual director.
