The Strange Death of Father Candy

Vietnam veteran Dominick Candiotti has been long estranged from his family. But in 1985, his oldest brother Richard--beloved by every Italian Catholic in Youngstown as "Father Candy"--dies, and Dominick returns home for the funeral. Dominick is greatly disturbed by Richard's death, which has been ruled a suicide. Dissatisfied with this answer, he sets out to find the truth. 304 pp. 15,000 print.
