Description
Book Description: A buried secret. A bishop’s request. A detective with ghosts of his own.
It’s Monday morning, and the last place Lt. Detective Philip Samyn wants to be is in a church, but it’s still preferable to another meeting with his boss. Summoned by a bishop who insists on silence and discretion, Samyn senses trouble before he even arrives.
The parish’s stone walls are cold, but not as cold as the memories they stir in him. He’s seen what can hide behind holy robes, and he’s learned to distrust sanctuaries.
Inside, Bishop O’Malley confides a disturbing secret, the crypt of his predecessor has been desecrated, and he wants Samyn’s team to investigate, quietly, off the record. But Samyn knows a cover-up when he hears one.
What begins as a simple inquiry soon unearths something far darker, crimes buried deep in the shameful history of Ireland’s Magdalene Laundries and the Church’s unholy complicity.
By week’s end, the investigation will tear open wounds the Church thought long healed, and no one, neither priest nor detective, will leave unscathed.
“Canfield’s mysteries kept me questioning, and guessing the outcomes until the end! I have read all three and hope there will be more!” Joan Charles, Amazon reviewer.
