Two Babies, left in a pew, and a body found in the burned rectory lead Detective Maggie Monroe into murder, lies, and cover-ups in this fourth Book of the Maggie Monroe Series.
When Maggie Monroe and Brick move to Reno because of his military-related burn-pit illness, she begins a new job as a detective. Hired only because of a court order for the chief to hire a woman detective, he assigns Maggie to find the mother of two babies of different races who had been abandoned at a local Catholic Church. Were they twins? Who was the mother?
The Diocese doesn’t know, or did they?
Shortly after Maggie begins to work on this case, the chief assigns her a second case, a death in a Catholic rectory. The victim obviously was not the priest, but the priest disappeared, so who was it? Were these two cases somehow tied together? The Bishop and the Vicar-general lock the doors, accuse the woman who found the babies, and refuse to talk to Maggie until she forces the issue.
Lies, coverups, and manipulations lead Maggie and Officer Jack down an abyss, a path of shifting sands, as they uncover the answers to these questions.
What Readers Are Saying
“Gail delivers a whimsical and engaging story of the experiences of an ex-con, while providing the suspense that fans of mystery novels expect from their book. Gail’s writing is enjoyable and realistic with a plot that is spot-on.”

“Murder in the Diocese. Wow, what a story! Part of the suspense, the real mystery is the tie-in to the Church’s clandestine coverup of its Clergy. Her telling invites the reader to come along as one door after another is opened, or closed, to reveal what you could not see coming. Finish the book, Put it down. Set it aside and you, too will say “Wow! What a story.’”
