Owen Keane, failed seminarian, once hoped to find cosmic answers in human mysteries, but he's traded that quest for a nine-to-five job at a New York law firm and a quiet life. Quiet, that is, until a cryptic request for information on an accident that took the lives of a playboy aviator and his fiancée cracks the solid earth beneath Keane's feet and pitches him once again into darkness and doubt. This Mystery Company edition marks the twentieth anniversary of the original publication of Faherty's Edgar Award nominated first novel.
