What to expect
Gabe Driscoll, chief of internal affairs for the New York City police department, stands in the city morgue, watching an autopsy. His interest is more than professional. The body is that of activist priest Frank Redmond, who along with Driscoll belonged to a championship swim relay team at a Jesuit high school in the 1950s. More than three decades later, Redmond has gone off a Harlem rooftop a few blocks from his church, and the surviving members of the team—Driscoll and Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Andrew Troy—find themselves reunited in a bizarre new race to figure out how and why Redmond died. Was it suicide, as police and diocesan investigations have summarily concluded? Or was he pushed—and if so, by whom?
Critics Review
“A glorious epic…This is the best novel of all Daley works, far nmore serious and precious than an ordinary mystery. It demands your nattention and captures your imagination.”
“Daley, author of Prince of the City and twenty-five other works of both nonfiction and fiction, does some of his best work nhere. His characteristic strengths—a palpably vivid evocation of New nYork City and an impeccable knowledge of police procedure—buttress a nmelancholy tale of four intertwined lives, choices made and dismissed asn friendships ebb and flow…Think Mystic River, but maybe better.”
“Daley is at his best here, delving into the npersonal life of a priest while showing us the political antics nnecessary to surviving within the structure of a major police ndepartment. A consummate storyteller, he hints at the stark reality of an religious life and the undercurrents of interpersonal relationships. nThe unexpected and thought-provoking ending will delight readers who nlike stories with depth and solutions that go beyond black and white.”
“Richly entertaining.”
