The women in the life of private investigator Niccolo Fitzhugh arenāt making things easy for him at all.
His mother has told Father OāMalley, the priest at St. Rita, he would investigateāfor freeāthe case of Aileen OāConnor, who lost $50,000 to con man Benedict St. Giles and who believes sheās part of a rebirth of the Catholic Church.
Then Fitzās beloved wife Gracie leaves him for two weeks to fend for himself to take a group of students to Vienna,āand Father OāMalley ends up dead.
The case brings another problemāFBI Special Agent Fiona Rafferty who has been on St. Gilesā tail since another priest was found dead. Even worse: the history she has with Fitz since she was a new police officer in Fawcettville, could explode in ways that put his life āand his marriageāin danger.
Can Fitz resist the temptation that Rafferty poses? And can he rescue OāConnor before the worst happens?
