    About this audiobook

    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.

    Jane Haddam

    Jane Haddam (1951–2019) was an American author of mysteries. Born Orania Papazoglou, she worked as a college professor and magazine editor before publishing her Edgar Award–nominated first novel, Sweet, Savage Death, in 1984. This mystery introduced Patience McKenna, a sleuthing scribe who would go on to appear in four more books, including Wicked, Loving Murder (1985) and Rich, Radiant Slaughter (1988).   Not a Creature Was Stirring (1990) introduced Haddam’s best-known character, former FBI agent Gregor Demarkian. The series spans more than twenty novels, many of them holiday-themed, including Murder Superior (1993), Fountain of Death (1995), and Wanting Sheila Dead (2005). Haddam’s later novels include Blood in the Water (2012) and Hearts of Sand (2013).

      Gregor Demarkian has a most baffling case on his hands … and it hits very close to home. His friend and parish priest, Father Tibor Kasparian, is arrested for the brutal murder of a local judge in her chambers. There’s a video recording that appears to show him hammering the victim with her own gavel. Tibor is not talking to anyone, not his lawyer, not the police and certainly not to Gregor. No one who knows Father Kasparian believes for a minute that he could have murdered anyone. This case takes our hero into the murky world of for-profit prisons, bribery, and juvenile justice. The Gregor Demarkian mysteries are quick reads, compelling in a quirky way. Usually, the “Armenian-American Hercule Peroit” is taken away from his Philadelphia neighborhood as a police consultant. In this case, he’s not officially on the case, and only has entrée to the police world through a circuitous route. I’ve read most of the books in this series and have always enjoyed them – it’s one of my guilty pleasures. This one could have used a good dose of copy-editing to clear up some obvious errors and grammatical mistakes.
