      About This Book

      "Couldn't resist touching the body, eh?" observed Ben. Faith was defiant. "I had to check for a pulse."
      Faith Morgan may have quit the world of crime, but crime won't let her go. The ex-policewoman has retrained as a priest, disillusioned with a tough police culture and convinced that she can do more good this way. But now her worlds collide.

      Searching for the first posting of her new career, she witnesses a sudden and shocking death in a quiet Hampshire village. And of all people, Detective Inspector Ben Shorter, her former colleague and boyfriend, shows up to investigate the crime. Persuaded to stay on in Little Worthy, she learns surprising details about the victim and starts to piece together a motive for his death.

      But is she now in danger herself? And what should she do about Ben? Then a further horrifying event deepens the mystery...
