Middy has her hands full this time. Father Mac is accused of murdering a church woman who demands to take over the pulpit and convert the congregation, claiming that Mary Magdalene was the beloved of Christ and St. John was just an ordinary observer. Then Mac is kidnapped just about the time a horrific discovery is made at Mosscreek.

Our heroine will have to delve deeply into the past and get involved with the Mafia, old heartaches, and new happiness as she and Cal move ahead with their lives. Thank goodness for Middy's natural ability to shake out all the facts from very dusty old dirty laundry!
