Ancient church rituals meet cutting-edgecrime solving in the latest novel in the#1 New York Times–bestselling seriesthat's 'Law & Order: SVU in the future'(Entertainment Weekly).
In the year 2060, sophisticated investigative tools can help catch akiller. But there are some questions even the most advanced technologiescannot answer.
Ridley Pearson has praised J. D. Robb's suspense as'taut' and 'nerve-jangling.' Her latest thriller sets anew standard for suspense, as the priest at a Catholicfuneral mass brings the chalice to his lips and falls over dead.
When Detective Lieutenant Eve Dallas confirms that theconsecrated wine contained potassium cyanide, she's determinedto solve the murder of Father Miguel Flores, despite herdiscomfort with her surroundings. It's not the bodegas andpawnshops of East Harlem that bother her, though the neighborhoodis a long way from the stone mansion she shares withher billionaire husband, Roarke. It's all that holiness flyingaround at St. Christobal's that makes her uneasy.
A search of the victim's sparsely furnished room reveals little except for a carefully hidden religious medal with a mysteriousinscription, and a couple of underlined Bible passages. Theautopsy reveals more: faint scars of knife wounds, a removedtattoo and evidence of plastic surgery, suggesting that'Father Flores' may not have been the man his parishioners hadthought. Now, as Eve pieces together clues that hint at gangconnections and a deeply personal act of revenge, she believesshe's making progress on the case. Until a second murder infront of an even larger crowd of worshippers knocks the wholeinvestigation sideways. And Eve is left to figure out who committedthese unholy acts and why.

About The Book Worm Bookstore, LLC Georgia, United States
The Book Worm Bookstore originally opened its doors in October 2005. With the owner ready to retire, new ownership happened in November 2020. We are home to over 30,000 titles - both new and used. Although the majority of our inventory is online we do have in-store items not listed. Please contact the store directly if there is something you don't see.
We just joined Biblio in May 2020, and with the change of ownership, are finding some inconsistencies with our database. Since items come and go daily, we may have a higher rate of rejecting orders so our rating may not be stellar for a bit. Don't hold it against us as we are working diligently to get our database updated. Thank you for supporting your local community bookstore.
