[edit] Plot inproduction
The city in which this novel takes place is never mentioned but is most likely somewhere in New England. However, the city is not Boston since, in the novel, the head of the diocese is only a bishop, whereas the head of the Boston archdiocese is an archbishop and, more frequently, a cardinal.
