Sister Mary Helen and her dear old friend Sister Eileen can't believe their luck when they win a free trip to Santiago, Spain. Surely the contest, held by the nervous owner of a Spanish restaurant where the nuns sometimes dine, must be rigged? Or was there a bit of intervention - divine or otherwise - that secured the two sisters places in a small tour group? Never mind. The sisters are far too excited at the thought of beautiful faraway Spain to worry unduly and decide.

In this seventh outing for amateur sleuth Sister Mary Helen and her coconspirator, Sister Eileen, the two nuns take time out from their duties at Mount St. Francis College when a wealthy widow, a benefactor of the college and dear friend, is the second victim of a local rapist-murderer. Despite the furious protests of the San Francisco police, Sister Mary Helen decides that they need a little divine intervention. Between juggling their regular duties, ducking the notice of the detectives on the case, and a plan to straighten out the life of a sad young librarian, the Sisters have their hands full. But as criminals, law enforcement types, and their fellow nuns have discovered, there's no stopping the pair when they feel their involvement is called for.

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.
