Since the grant was made without informing university officials, one might suspect that Cornell refused the money for purely bureaucratic reasons. It is clear, however, that the university is concerned with the way Congress is distributing funds and is determined not to "accept a funding award if it circumvented traditional merit-review procedures...
...1980s police superintendent named Nicholas Hawksmoor. Another moody loner, Hawksmoor is investigating a series of murders at various 18th century churches, all built by Dyer (of whom he has never heard).

As Hawksmoor closes in, his overstrained mind and the novel's parallel narratives dissolve into a mystical blur without quite settling the question...

Haitink, who has a strong affinity for British music, admirably realizes the score's sense of impending, dispassionate, impersonal doom...
