"Incredible mysteries written by an actual ex-nun . . . Brilliant, funny, a great whodunit . . . one writer who readers should definitely make a 'habit' of" (Suspense Magazine).

Former nun turned private investigator Giulia Falcone-Driscoll has just taken on her first impossible client: the man known as the Silk Tie Killer. He's hired Driscoll Investigations to prove his innocence, and they have only thirteen days to accomplish it. Talk about being tried in the media. Everyone in town is sure Roger Fitch strangled his girlfriend with one of his silk neckties. And then there's the local TMZ wannabes—The Scoop—stalking Giulia and her client for sleazy sound bites.

On top of all that, her assistant's first baby is due any second, her scary-smart admin still doesn't relate well to humans, and her police detective husband insists her client is guilty. About this marriage thing—it's unknown territory, but it sure beats living with 150 nuns.

In or out of the convent, Giulia has a passion for justice. But the more dirt she digs up, the more she's worried her efforts will help a murderer escape—and that her client might be choosing one of his ties for her own neck . . .
