Publisher's Synopsis
Washington News reporter Sutton McPhee is in a funk. She has worked her way up to the big time - covering education for a major metro daily in the nation's capital, but even that job has lost its luster. She is jerked out of her professional doldrums, however, by the devastating news that her younger sister, Cara, has been murdered. Cara worked as a church secretary and was loved by her friends and the congregation. Her death by gunshot in a bank parking lot has left the police - and Sutton - mystified. When the police can't give her answers, Sutton's grief drives her to try to solve Cara's murder herself. The more she learns, the greater her determination to follow every lead until she finds her sister's killer. But that decision will take Sutton into a world where religious faith and power are masks for blackmail, greed, perversion and worse - and where Sutton soon finds her own life is on the line in her search for justice.
