The Last Pascha

Ysbergstad is a cold, brutal city. Cowering 'neath the continent's tallest mountain, its people wring whatever they can from the unforgiving flesh of Aleyska and struggle every day to survive in the shadow of chthonic immensity. Here there is no sacred, only profane. But when a priest is found dead in his rectory, even the jaded citizens of the city are shocked by the act. Was it suicide or murder? Assigned to the case, Detective Inspector Pik van der Tass, a cynical psychologist-investigator, is thrown into a world of faith and betrayal, where one man's sacrament is another man's sin. The Last Pascha.
