A hooker dressed in a nun's habit is shot dead at the shrine of her sister's convent. No clues, no motive and scant leads present the police with a parish puzzler. Father Robert Koesler attends the woman's wake, and soon finds himself swept into a bizarre and chilling case of multiple murders that begins with a nun under the gun and ends with Koesler under a cardinal's cassock. Thirteenth in this successful series. A Mystery Guild selection.
"An outstanding character study from a master mystery writer." (Richmond Times Dispatch)
