And It Was Night: A Tale of Betrayals

“And It Was Night” by Charles Theodore Murr is a novel about the psychological and spiritual toll of betrayal. Not on the betrayer, but on the one betrayed. Set in Rome, Mexico, and New York during the 1970s–80s, it follows Charlie Murr, a good but flawed priest betrayed by a circle of trusted friends. Blending dark humor, Church intrigue, and theological reflection, the novel is part exposé, part spiritual journey. It explores themes of faith, suffering, and unanswered questions, ultimately echoing the story of Job where meaning is found not in answers, but in wrestling with God’s questions.
