Short but engaging, yes. A detective story that is centered on two Jesuits who hold amazing credentials in scientific fields - a nice case of doublethink. It was fun, although it bogged down a bit at the middle, when the protagonists were interviewing sources for more leads. The ending was a little stupid though. The killer is literally cornered with no means of escape, and the protagonist walks in and nearly gets himself killed. And that woman reporter - what did she really do?

Yeah, he should have just waited for people with, oh I don't know, guns?

One of the cases demonstrating the virtuous nature of patience - wait for backup.
