About this title

From the Inside Flap:

SARY MURDERS quickly established Father Koesler as among the most likable and authentic of all recent sleuths .... Since then, few mystery series have been more cozy and persuasive."
CHICAGO TRIBUNE
From their Spartan quarters in downtown Detroit four religious brothers and a priest peform miracles. As the throng comes to them, so do accusations of embezzlement and torture. Father Koesler is finally called to crack a case that mingles sacred and profane and murder....

From Publishers Weekly:

Burnishing the reputation he has earned with The Rosary Murders , Kienzle again sets series hero Father Koesler among criminals in Detroit. The priest visits a dark, cheerless cloister where four monks draw the media and swarms of citizens when one of the friars reputedly works a miraculous cure. Although skeptical, homicide detective "Zoo" Tully takes his ailing lover to the cloister and the monk heals her instantly. There is no perceived connection between the murder of an old bum, a case assigned to Tully, nor to the attempted murder of Koesler's friend, reporter Pat Lennon, as she writes about the secretive community. But Koesler, versed in Catholic rituals and wise to the ways of con artists, performs wonders of his own. Proving that faith does move mountains, the author entertains and educates.
