"When a priest with radical ideas and a parish council
with traditional values lock horns over the beliefs they
hold most sacred, there's bound to be controversy - and
consequences. But murder crosses the line between
committing a sin and committing a crime, turning a battle
over faith into a battle for justice. And smack in the
middle of the explosive case is Tulsa attorney Ben
Kincaid." "Kincaid rescued Father Daniel Beale once
before. When the priest's renegade views and violent
temper nearly cost him his position as rector of St.
Benedict's Church, Ben intervened and saved the day. Now
Beale is the prime suspect in the brutal murder of a
female parishioner - though lack of evidence has left the
case unsolved. But as Father Beale struggles to escape the
shadow of suspicion, another woman is savagely
slaughtered. And this time, Ben himself discovers Beale
literally red-handed . . . with the blood of the
victim." "As Father Beale declares his innocence, Ben and
his team feverishly work to build a defense that will
deliver the man of God from a date with the death chamber.
But each new revelation that emerges in the packed
courtroom only serves to tilt the scales increasingly in
the prosecution's favor. And Father Beale's own shocking
testimony ignites a firestorm of controversy that could
doom his last best hope for acquittal." In his heart and
in his gut, Ben knows Father Beale is innocent. But
proving it means taking a leap of faith that will plunge
Ben into the whirlpools of dark secrets and dangerous
intentions that surround St. Benedict's. And ultimately,
it will force the idealistic attorney to confront the
chilling face of evil in the most unexpected of places.
