In the process, Abbey must overcome her deep prejudice against churches and a dark secret that anchors her present to a painful past. As Abbey and Abe discover the pastor’s plans to eliminate the church’s corruptive elements and implement a new vision, their list of suspects multiplies and includes church leaders, whom the young pastor considered friends.
To crack the case of the Water Grave, Detective Abbey Rhodes must investigate in the one place she swore she would never again set foot… the church.
