This is the kind of stuff I investigate all the time. Homicide shouldn’t be something you build a career off of. You ever stop to think about the evil in this world?” Father Brennan chuckled. “Of course. The evil in this world can seem quite overwhelming sometimes, but we have a choice to give in to it or not.
