Laurie R. King: To Play the Fool (USA 1995) From the Publisher: The fool in question here is known as Brother Erasmus, and he comes into Kate Martinelli's life when a homeless man is murdered. Erasmus is an enigma who speaks only in quotations, a practice that makes questioning him more of a frustrating game than a police interview. Yet all signs point to the strong probability that this man of obvious learning, much wit, and boundless compassion is a killer. Kate Martinelli is determined to find out who Brother Erasmus is - or was - and what secrets his past life holds. The search on which she and her middle-aged partner, streetwise and peoplewise Al Hawkin, embark will take them into amazing places and lead to an unsuspected and heartwrenching climax. Laurie R. King: To Play the Fool. St. Martin's Press, ISBN: 0312119070 (February, 1995), 260 p., $21.00.
