Judas Priest (A Father Dowling Mystery)

Plot

"Chris Bourke had abandoned his vocation, married a former nun and made a career out of attacking the church. His Enlightened Hedonism movement called for the untrammeled pursuit of sensual pleasures-and his following was, not surprisingly, enormous. But what does a professional apostate do when his only child announces she is going to enter a convent? He asks Father Roger Dowling for help. Not in the business of turning away those with the call, Father Dowling agrees to speak to Sonya. But her brutal murder involves the venerable priest in a sordid tale of duplicity and deadly intent ... and a clever killer with a calling of his own."--BOOK COVER.
