Father Michael Kerrow

The vicar of St. Brannoc’s, who led the lantern procession every year and knew every card and domino player in the parish. Father Kerrow chose his words as if each one would be read back to him at the Last Judgement, which, he said, it would.

Every witness had a life beyond that night. Some of those lives are in the sealed file, which opens once you have solved the case.
