John Carmody has no ethics, no morals and no conscience. Until he takes the Chance on Dante's Joy, living through seven nights of his wildest fantasies come true, he can't even imagine why anyone would want a conscience. But Dante's Joy is a truly strange place – and the phone calls from his murdered wife are only the beginning of his strange experiences. Father John Carmody is a man who knows evil intimately, and is coming to know good with an equal intimacy. He is in a unique position to roam the galaxy, dispensing wisdom and advice along with Catholic doctrine and the saying of mass – a fully qualified father to the stars!
