Sacred Trust

Plot

High on a hill overlooking the pristine town of Carmel, California, the body of world-famous photojournalist Marti Bright is found one morning, crucified on a homemade wooden cross. For her best friend, Abby Northrup, it's just the beginning of a nightmare that she, too, may not escape from alive. Compelled by grief and shock, Abby begins to piece together what happed to the woman she influential politician in tatters and her perfect life only a carefully fabricated illusion. Abby focuses instead on Marti, probing their past, the time the two friends spent in a convent and the secrets they'd kept all these years. But as Abby reaches further and further into the maze of Marti's last days, she realizes the woman she thought she knew so well was keeping secrets from her. And that her own life is linked to her friend's in ways she never imagined ... in ways that could make her a vengeful killer's next victim.
