I liked the book and still remember the character Erasmus, The Fool. There is a homeless victim seemingly homicide,without a positive ID, a group of witnesses who have no love of cops, and a possible suspect , known only as Brother Erasmus, who is certainly articulate, but difficult to understand. Kate and her partner, Al Hawkin have the frustrating task of unraveling the mystery. Trying to learn something of Bro. Erasmus history leads Kate along a twisting road to a disbanded cult, long-buried secrets,the thirst for spirituality, and the hunger for bloody vengence.
