More DescriptionThe priest lay on the bloodstained stones, his life drained from the wounds in his back.... In a walled garden surrounded by skyscrapers, Father Michael Birney met an unholy end, stabbed by an assailant who invaded his vespers prayers and then vanished as twilight overtook the big city.
