The Bishop Burned the Lady

Monastery Valley, Book 3

By: Bill Percy

Narrated by: Nick Steen

"Mystery fans who prefer their whodunits in a cozier form than the old school hard-boiled will be pleased." (IndieReader Approved)

A mysterious fire in a remote forest clearing; a woman's charred bones; unexplained tracks in the rutted road - the only clues Deputy Andi Pelton has to what happened. Then, she meets an old man living alone in a forest compound that obviously houses many people. Sex trafficking in the Montana wilderness?

As Andi and psychologist Ed Northrup struggle to solve the brutal and fiery murder, Andi faces a fear she didn’t know she had. The horrors they unearth lead them deep into the appalling reality of prison gangs and a cult led by a malignant bishop, - a threat to overwhelm Andi and Ed’s romance and her growing bond with Grace, her step-girlfriend Ed’s adopted daughter. Will that center hold when Andi finds the killer holding a knife against her throat? And if it does and she succeeds, will she be able to face her greater fear?
