Blood on the Bones
Geraldine Evans
A Rafferty and Llewellyn Mystery
Publisher: Geraldine Evans
This 9th mystery in the series was first published by Severn House in 2006.
Lapsed Catholic DI Joe Rafferty was dismayed that his latest murder investigation should centre around the local RC Convent, where a body had been discovered in a shallow grave.
The nuns' order was an enclosed, contemplative one, and access to their house and grounds, with its surrounding 8 foot high walls, far from easy.
Rafferty, prejudiced by his rigid Catholic schooling, didn't find it as hard as his DS, Dafyd Llewellyn, to believe that this might be an inside job and that the religious were as capable of murder as other frail mortals.
But then, the suspects stretched to include the nuns' doctor and their confessor — who was none other than Rafferty's own, usually successfully avoided, parish priest, the determinedly soul-saving, uber-hypocritical, Father Roberto Kelly, himself, "the greatest sinner in the parish".
It was, for Rafferty, a difficult case from the start, its difficulties compounded by personal problems of a blackmailing nature. An anonymous correspondent had somehow discovered the career-killing secret he had successfully concealed through two investigations, knowledge confided in a letter sent to the station and received that very morning.
Rafferty had to dig deep into the past and the mores of an earlier generation to find the killer, and into his own recent past to identify his persecutor.
