Fully recovered from the gunshot wound that landed Cat Austen in the hospital in Death of a DJ, and over the shock of stumbling upon the corpse of Santa Claus in Fruitcake, Cat has reluctantly agreed to take off with Victor Cardenas (Lieutenant, ACPD) for a four-day weekend in San Juan -- but fate steps in to save her from having to back out at the last minute when Victor is called to the murder scene in what looks to be number three in a serial-killer case.
Cat just has time to heave a guilty sigh of relief when she realizes that the murdered woman was involved with her brother Dominic's Church of St. Agnes--and so were the others. Within a matter of days, three more women are murdered; again, all have some involvement with St. Agnes. Could it be, was it even conceivable, that Cat's beloved priest/brother could be a murderer?
Back again to enliven the pages are Cat's six brothers, her mother; Ellice; and Cat's two children, Mats and Jane. The crew from Cop Watch is in town, too, to shoot the Death of a DJ episode; and of course Ritchie Landis wants Cat to get him the goods on The Slasher for the Chronicle....
