A Good Samaritan

“Plenty of time, isn’t there?” Reginald Fairfax asks after arriving forty-five minutes late—and just as a promising church appointment is within reach.

On a crowded May evening in New York, Rex, a newly ordained theological student, is meant to meet influential Judge Rush and discuss a possible post at St. Eric’s. His cousin Carter Reed has worked hard to arrange the meeting; Rex, good-natured and impossible to hurry, has a talent for letting other people’s troubles take precedence. Then he spots Billy Strong, gloriously drunk and leaning on a stranger who claims to be contemplating suicide. Rex can’t leave either man to be arrested, even if helping them means sacrificing the evening that could shape his future. How far will his good intentions carry him?
