The Confessional

A C.T. Ferguson Crime Novella (C.T. Ferguson Crime Novellas, Book 1)

A bloody corpse. A priest with the wrong history. A rookie PI trying to save an innocent man.

Hacker-turned-private investigator C.T. Ferguson is new to the job. He's learning the ropes. He wants an easy case.

Instead he gets Ernie, a publicity-hungry blogger. He injected himself into a murder case and is now the prime suspect.

Near a Baltimore church, a man is found murdered, stabbed a dozen times in the chest. C.T. uncovers the victim's history of abuse by priests—including the one stationed at the church where his body was discovered.

He also learns of plans to build a new church...plans that could be threatened by a corpse turning up.

With Ernie in jail and the priest reluctant to talk about the past, C.T. must dodge the shadowy figures harassing him to sort through the reverend's and the victim's histories. If he can't figure out what happened, an innocent man will pay the price.
