    1 edition published in 2009 in English and held by 4 libraries worldwide
    Sister Mary Helen, still spry at seventy-something, makes a perfectly innocent mistake when she arrives at St. Colette's Retreat House a week early. Unfortunately, so has a convention of San Francisco priests. Mary Helen, accompanied by her long-suffering old friend Sister Eileen, had hoped for a few tranquil days of spiritual renewal. Instead she encounters a boisterous group of hard-drinking pastors, a crotchety cook named Beverly, a hysterical dishwasher, an inexplicably nervous resident nun and a dead body. Someone has killed a former seminary student and left his corpse under the glorious mountain pines. The local police don't have a prayer when it comes to spotting the real culprit. But perhaps a contemplative nun with a God-given gift for sleuthing can see the evil that men do and the telltale clue that no one else divines.
