About Murder in the Diocese - The Maggie Monroe Series: Book Four

Two Babies, left in a pew, and a body found in the burned rectory lead Detective Maggie Monroe into murder, lies, and cover-ups in this fourth book of the Maggie Monroe Series. When Maggie Monroe and Brick move to Reno because of his military-related burn-pit illness, she begins a new job as a detective. Hired only because of a court order for the chief to hire a woman detective, he assigns Maggie to find the mother of two babies of different races, who had been abandoned at the local Catholic Church. Were they twins? Who was the mother? The Diocese doesn’t know, or do they? Who broke into the foster home attempting to abduct the babies? Shortly after Maggie begins to work on this case, the chief assigns her a second case: a body in the burned Catholic rectory, a female. The victim obviously was not the priest, but the priest disappeared, so who was it? Were these two cases somehow tied together? The Bishop and the Vicar-General deflect, deny, and obscure, using the full power of the church, even accusing the woman who found the babies, refusing to cooperate with Detective Maggie until her persistence and DNA reveal a shocking truth. Lies, cover-ups, and manipulations lead Maggie and Officer Jack down an abyss of corruption, a path of shifting sands, as they uncover the answers to perverse evil.
