In a poor, remote section of southern Mexico, the Red Shirts have taken control. God has been outlawed, and the priests have been systematically hunted down and killed. Now, the last priest strives to overcome physical and moral cowardice in order to find redemption. (From the publisher.)

This is the second of four in what are considered Graham Greene's explicitiy Catholic novels. The other three are Brighton Rock (1938), The Heart of the Matter (1948), and The End of the Affair (1951).
