Someone is brutally killing Catholic priests. Revenge, or something more sinister? Ireland's first female detective must get to the truth in the second Katie Maguire mystery.

One cold spring morning in County Cork, two fishermen find a bundle of rags floating in the Blackwater River. It is the bloated body of Father Heaney. His hands and feet are bound, and his neck bears the marks of garrotting wire. Worse still, he has been castrated. When a second priest is found murdered, his body bruised and beaten and the same savage wound hidden beneath his soutane, Detective Inspector Katie Maguire finds evidence of a sinister cover-up at St. Joseph's Orphanage. But the Catholic diocese still wields considerable power here, and the Garda are under pressure to close the case. Katie has to work alone if she is to catch the killer in time--but first she must shatter a wall of silence that for decades has hidden a terrible secret--a secret that is beyond belief.
