Description: Frank Molloy, an expatriate and a former priest, returns to Ireland to the village of Davinkill. It is the town where he grew up, the town that decades earlier sent him out into the world as a newly ordained priest, the town that was scandalized when he left the priesthood - and the Church - and the town where his own brother has long since disowned him. Eddie Keegan, Frank's childhood friend, remained in Davinkill - and in the priesthood. But Father Keegan looks down on his congregation, experiencing feelings of revulsion as he serves them communion. And in his haunted memory, a ghastly crime has festered for years.
