Lawyer/bluesman Monty Collins is used to defending murderers, as well as occasionally investigating murders himself. But he's never come up against anything like the case of Reinhold Schellenberg, world-renowned German theologian and former Vatican insider, whose blood-drenched body has been found on the altar of a church during Vespers on Saint Cecilia's day. Monty faces an international cast of suspects, including a flamboyant Sicilian priest who left the Vatican under a cloud, and a cop from East Berlin. The investigation takes Monty, and pal Father Brennan Burke on an odyssey to Europe in search of a motive for the grisly crime.
