1930s Mexico, the suppression of the Catholic church is at his height, the hunt is on for the last remaining priest who is secretly criss-crossing the country, hidden by the villagers, saying Mass, giving absolution. The priest is a sinner with a penchant for whisky, plagued with doubts and fears yet knowing he has no choice but to follow this certain road to Calvary. Classic page-turning Graham Greene.
