[star]When the body of disturbed psychiatric nurse Alan Jacobs is discovered in a cemetery with a cross carved into his chest, Jenny Cooper (The Disappeared), Severn Vale District Coroner, is called upon to confirm the cause of death. While Jenny is busy probing into the victim's double life, a new case comes to light, that of reformed porn star Eva Donaldson, who was stabbed to death in her home. Although a convicted murderer has confessed to Eva's killing, Jenny is unconvinced and begins to delve deeply into Eva's newfound religious life at the Mission Church of God. It soon becomes evident that the church plays a sinister role not only in Eva's death but possibly in the death of Jacobs and a third victim, teenager Freddy Reardon. It's up to Jenny to make the connections among the three deaths and arrive at the awful truth. Verdict Readers of Patricia Cornwell will very much enjoy this psychological thriller. Jenny Cooper's character is flawed and unflinchingly real. Highly recommended to round out any library's mystery collection.-Amy M. Handley, Kent State Univ., Columbus, OH. (c) Copyright 2011.
