Father Robert returns in a blessedly baffling murder mystery featuring prayer, peril, and "a great cast of characters (Suspense Magazine).

For many years, Father Robert Vickers called the old rectory at Seattle's Grace Church home—but no more. An enterprising volunteer has come up with a scheme to convert the run-down house of god into a thrift store. And with the Episcopal Church deep in the red, Father Robert moves into a condo.

The thrift store business is booming until one of the employees is killed—execution-style. It seems the nice young man's criminal past may have caught up with him. But Father George isn't so sure. With the help of his loyal fiancée, Molly, and a collection of faithful followers, the good Father sets out to uncover the truth before Grace Church's already-dwindling congregation is scared away completely—and before the killer decides to strike again.
