At the Hour of Our Death by James Curran

Micah Connaught is a jaded priest confronted with a crisis of faith: Is there any reason to believe in people? After discovering a girl was murdered near his church and a police department that could care less, Father Mick embarks on a dangerous quest to find her killer in a city that likes being dirty. Inspired by noir mysteries, At the Hour of Our Death explores what happens when a cynical society gives up hope, and maybe welcomes death.
