Synopsis: SACRED LOVE AND PROFANE MURDER Two new postulants--sunny, eager Bernadette Fawkes and prim, anxious Magdalen Cole--have arrived at the Convent of the Daughters of Compassion to dedicate their lives to the Lord. A rare and blessed event...but Sister Joan must confess to less-than-perfect charity when she finds one of them brandishing a knife. Her unease darkens to horror after a midnight brush with a batlike figure on the chapel stairs, and the lethal bludgeoning of a nun who had changed beds with the fearful Magdalen. From a visiting hermit to a caravan of New Age goddess-worshippers, the intrepid Sister Joan follows a trail of unholy relics toward a revelation that could destroy the convent's serenity--and even her own life. Sister Joan barely conforms to the many dictates of her religious order as she's tempted by her outgoing personality, curiosity and tendency to happen upon crimes she feels compelled to help solve.
