Gregor Demarkian grew up in the Armenian-American enclave in Philadelphia known as Cavanaugh Street. Even though he left to go to college, and then went on to a storied career, he eventually returned to Cavanaugh Street after an early retirement. There he still retains some of the friends. Among them is Father Tibor Kasparian, probably the most genuinely gentle soul that Demarkian has ever met. When Father Tibor is then arrested on murder charges, it tears at the very foundation of Demarkian's world. While Gregor has very strict rules about for whom and under what conditions he will consult, all those rules go by the wayside. Demarkian is now a man possessed, and his one goal is to find out what really happened and who is really responsible for the murder Father Tibor is charged with.

      Starred review from July 14, 2014
      In her fiendishly clever 29th Gregor Demarkian novel (after 2013’s Hearts of Sand), Edgar-winner Haddam once again brings Agatha Christie’s magic tricks into the 21st century. The brilliant ex-FBI agent, who consults for law-enforcement agencies, must try to exonerate his dear friend Fr. Tibor Kasparian, a popular priest for the Armenian chuch in his Philadelphia neighborhood, who has been accused of murder. Father Tibor was found in the chambers of Judge Martha Handling, holding the bloody gavel used to bash her head in, and a video later turns up showing him wielding the weapon. Furthermore, Father Tibor declines to aid in his own defense, refusing to speak with Gregor or anyone else about what really happened. The truth may lie with the victim’s rumored involvement with the Administrative Solutions of America, a private prison company. The solution is both surprising and logical, demonstrating that Haddam has few peers at playing fair. Agent: Donald Maass, Donald Maass Agency.
