A mystery, suspense novel, two years in the making. A parish priest has a gambling problem, a girlfriend, and his brother just killed his bookie. A detective and mobster investigate, although for differing reasons, while the town questions if it’s a crime at all. It has everything needed in a mystery: gambling, drinking, Girl Scout cookies, a wedding with a miracle, a dead man telling a terrible joke, a canine ring bearer, restaurant scenes, fast food, spit-takes, and road rage.
