A bloody corpse. A priest with the wrong history.
A rookie PI trying to figure it all out.
Hacker-turned-private investigator C.T. Ferguson is new to the job. He's learning the ropes. He wants an easy case.
Instead he gets a mess. Near a Baltimore church, a man is found murdered, stabbed a dozen times in the chest. C.T. uncovers the victim's history of abuse by priests--including the one stationed at the church.
Then, there's Ernie, a publicity-hungry blogger and podcaster who injected himself into a murder case.
C.T. also learns of plans to build a new church . . . plans that could be threatened by a corpse turning up. With the priest reluctant to talk about the past and enforcers hounding him, C.T. must sort through everyone's histories to figure out what happened.
The Confessional
is a gripping crime novella and a perfect short read for mystery fans.
