Mystery | Thriller Crime
In Draper, Utah, a tight-knit Mormon community is thrown into upheaval when their wardโs second counselorโone of the bishopโs right-hand menโis found dead in an elaborately staged murder on church property. Carl Ashby was known as a devout Mormon, a pillar of the community, and a loving husband and father. Who would want him dead? Linda Wallheim, the wife of the wardโs bishop, canโt rest as long as the ward is suffering. She is particularly worried about Carlโs grieving family. But the entire case is turned upside down by the autopsy report, which reveals Carl Ashby was biologically female. In the Mormon church, where gender is considered part of a personโs soul, some people regard transgenderism as one of the worst possible transgressions of faith. Church officials seem to be more upset by Carlโs gender than by his murder, and more concerned with hushing up the story than solving the crime. Linda realizes that if the police are to catch the killer, they are going to need an ally on the insideโand she is the only one who can help. Carl was living a life of secrecy for twenty years. What else was he hidingโand can Linda ferret out the key to his death before the rumors tear her community apart?
