When Janet Reed takes the job as pastoral assistant for a Catholic church after the death of her son, she hopes the job will bring her peace and healing. Instead she becomes a keeper of secrets, a murder suspect and a dead man's last hope for making restitution for the sins of his past.
For readers who miss Ralph McInerny, Andrew Greeley and William Kienzle, Mary Carroll Patrick is a fresh new voice in Catholic genre mystery. The Saintmaker is her debut novel.
