A thrilling new thriller from the writer who brought you Holy Orders (to Kill) and Nunnery with a Gunnery comes Devout of Time, the story of former police investigator Carol McCaffrey, a young nun who didn’t know when to quit.
Accepted into the Our Lady of Totally Legitmateness convent, Carol found peace from the madness of her old life and job. Less traffic, less spam phone calls, and decent WiFi. It was the perfect change. But, she didn’t realize that while the convent was a haven for her, it was also one of secrets.
Strange that, while on laundry duty, Carol discovered that her fellow nuns wear boxers. And why was there a submachinegun in the tabernacle? What could explain Mother Superior’s stash of Crime, Money Laundering and Deck Gardening magazines? Carol was sure she heard a “Flawless” buzzing behind Sister Michelle’s bedroom door for much longer than a quick touch-up takes.
Was Sister Michelle who she appeared? She had to know because Carol couldn’t–not for a moment longer–deny those impure, steamy thoughts she had for Michelle’s sultry deep voice and broad, tantalizing shoulders. It was strange yet how often the other sisters mistakenly called her “Michael.” Strange, and exciting.
As she unravels the dark, criminal world of this apparent convent, Carol reluctantly resurrects her police skills to fight the mob while her heart is torn by Michelle: the lover her heart yearns for, the criminal she must condemn. Time is running out for the Mother Superior suspects. Soon, she’ll make Carol take a vow of silence…permanently.
The Lord works in mysterious ways; Carol works in deadly ones.
