The Priestly Murders

By Greg Van Arsdale

In THE PRIESTLY MURDERS, a thrilling tale of mystery, action, and suspense, a serial killer targets the city's priests. Ex-Special Forces Detective Dan Franco is assigned to protect the only eyewitness--a twelve-year-old psychic named Peter. The killer Peter saw is Kevin Larkin, the adult son of Lars Larkin, the city's mafia crime boss. To keep Kevin out of prison, Lars must kill everyone who knows of his son's unspeakable deed. Although Dan hides Peter and his mother, informants in the police department tell Larkin their every move. Peter's remarkable gift and Dan's fighting skills prove to be a lethal combination in surviving the increasingly violent attempts on their lives. The situation gets complicated when Peter's mother is killed during a mafia assault on the police safe house. Peter escapes and Dan's boss places him in a convent. Dan is now forced to work with a nun postulate, Nancy, to protect Peter. The sexual tension runs high as the two are highly attracted to each other despite the forbidden love. Meanwhile, another priest dies...and then more, each with the same telltale sign on the victim's body--but some with a different MO. Dan deduces there is more than one killer; but what is the connection? Just as he cracks the case, Larkin's men kidnap Peter. With no one he can trust, Dan unleashes the full effect of his Special Forces skills in an all-out effort to save him. The result is a bloody one-man war against the Mob!
