Be careful what you wish for, his mother used to say. Yet how many times, in
his twenty years defending the underclass, has Monty Collins wished for a
client who is intelligent, articulate and tattoo-free? Now he has one, but
it's not long before his mother's warning comes back to haunt him. Father
Brennan Burke was born in Ireland, raised in New York, educated in Rome - he's
equally fluent in Latin and the language of the street. And he is the prime
suspect in the killing of a foxy young girl whose body was found carved with a
religious sign, a sign that points straight to the priest. From their first
meeting, Monty finds Burke acerbic, arrogant, and evasive about his
relationship with the victim. Conflict between lawyer and client simmers all
through the ordeal that lies ahead, as evidence piles up and murder charges
seem inevitable. With Burke remaining tight-lipped about his past, Monty has
no choice but to go behind his back and conduct a probe into the life of his
own client. Never in his career has Monty been so lost for answers, until a
long-forgotten incident takes on new and ominous meaning . . .
