Publisher's Synopsis
Sister Mary Helen is once more in the middle of a murder case. She holds a dying young woman, shot in the street outside the Refuge for homeless women. Grieving over the loss of life, Mary Helen spots something strange about the victim. Her ragged clothing is at odds with her healthy looking unblemished skin; her perfect teeth are white and unstained. Her appearance belies that of a woman living in poverty on the streets. With the weapons of her logical mind, will Sister Mary Helen solve the case and prove once again to be the bane of Inspector Gallagher's life?
