Publisher's Synopsis
When God thought 'peaceful', He thought of Union Crossing, a mining community nestled in the foothills of central Pennsylvania. The township was made up of God-fearing people, comprised mostly of mining families deeply rooted in the Catholic faith. Really nothing much in the way of crime ever happened in the area; the last major event was about five years ago, when Mrs. Roberts caught Mr. Roberts in a compromising position with Mrs. Cravens. Mrs. Roberts was acquitted! Now things were different, a man of the cloth had been murdered. It was becoming apparent to Chief Clarence Ralston and Detective Jeb Spaldmg that a killer had decided to cleanse the Catholic Church without God's help. On his own, the killer would strike terror into the hearts of the entire brotherhood; his modus operandi was simple....choose this day that clergy who had brought reproach upon the church. Then, with a hunter's instinct, patience, cunning, and precision make the kill. The killer's choice of weapon would be¿ the crossbow! It was up to the killer to set the metes and bounds for the hunt. The territory would be huge, ranging from Pennsylvania to the Vatican. When Ralston and Spalding started their investigation, "The Hunter" was ahead on two counts; he knew the church and how to use the crossbow with deadly accuracy!
