DescriptionSister Mary Helen leaves her San Francisco convent and her job at the college for a week's retreat in the Santa Cruz mountains, hoping for a little R & R. But she makes an innocent mistake, arriving at St. Colette's Retreat House a full week early, discovering a convention of San Francisco priests already on-site.

Someone killed a former activist seminarian and left his corpse under the glorious mountain pines. The local police don't have a prayer when it comes to spotting the real culprit. But perhaps a contemplative nun - with a God-given gift for sleuthing - can see the evil that men do and the telltale clue no one else divined.
