Set in Cornwall, a crime novel featuring sleuthing nun Sister Joan, whose latest assignment is to investigate the death of two young people and the apparent reappearance of a man who has supposedly been dead for more than a year.

“We have a secret the Devil and I.” These are the chilling words on the back of an old photograph that Sister Joan uncovers while cleaning out the attic storerooms. What she discovers among the dusty antiques leads to her most dangerous case yet. Joan has the strangest feeling that she's being followed. But the person she thinks she saw died over a year ago . . . Or did he? Then a young secretary turns up dead. She's been strangled. Another body is found and Sister Joan must get to the bottom of things before the murderer strikes again.

“Joan's wry wit and shrewd observations add zest to the mystery.” - PUBLISHER'S WEEKLY
