The Last Will and Testament of Lemuel Higgins (Blackbriar, $12.99) by Patrick J. O’Connor is the story of two men, each of whom stands at the edge of the abyss. They are drawn together to find resolution or perish in the attempt. One seeks forgiveness before his time runs out; the other seeks deliverance from the inexorable tide of change. What they achieve together is greater than either could have imagined.
