Book Description
"When Bousille, an earnest and self-effacing innocent, becomes a key witness in the Montreal murder trial of his cousin, the family are passionately concerned that his testimony should exonerate the accused and clear their good name. The situation points up the prevailing self-deception of the modern world which, while professing its belief in God and spiritual values, pursues Mammon with all its energies."--Cover.
