THE PALLADIUM, Brickley...
To this seedy Saturday night Mecca came:
MARK - who mapped out a girls's body and knew just how far she would let him go...but had, too, a burning need to regain his faith.
CLARE - who helped restore it...but found her own beliefs undermined by a new-found passion.
HARRY - who wanted power over gangs and tarts...yet wilted under insults of an old woman.
FATHER KIPLING - angered by the bosom flaunting crudity of modern life...but too ineffectual to influence his own congregation.
And so many others-each of them seeking, searching, questing...
