What happens next is told from various perspectives, each of which advances the plot...The soft-voiced phantom, the snobby columnist, the evil Darius-each adds color to the story while painting a vivid portrait of early twentieth-century New York. The dialogue on human nature between the priest and God hits the heights dramatically... " AudioFile 2000, Portland, Maine--
