A Violent Act by Alison Joseph
A Sister Agnes Mystery
Publisher: Endeavour Press
Price: $3.99 (as of 11/13/2015 at 6:30 PM ET).
Sister Agnes is now, as Father Julius solemnly teases her, a 'fully paid-up' member of the convent, but any thoughts that life might go more smoothly with her final vows taken are soon proved incorrect. Delighted to have escaped the oppressive confines of life inside the convent, Agnes is back in her own flat, working at the Order's hostel for the homeless. But before long, things take a turn for the worse: a young and vulnerable resident, Abbie, is found dead, and the fragile peace is shattered. Though it looks like suicide, questions are raised about the mysterious drug dealer Murchison's influence over Abbie and the other young hostel-dwellers. What, or who pushed Abbie to end her life?
With Murchie's formidable reputation, as increasingly sinister incidents unfold, the finger of blame seems to be pointing right at him. But Agnes has more than that on her mind.
Forced to confront the foundations of her faith, she is plagued by doubts planted by Abbie in their last conversation before she died — did she become a nun to run away from real life? Was entering the Order really a positive embracing of the new or an escape from the old? Was her faith really just based on running — both from the neglect of her father and her abusive ex-husband?
Whether she likes it or not, her past soon catches up with her in the form of gentlemanly American geologist Dr Bretton Laing bearing news of her long-dead father's last years. She cannot run from her past for ever …
