Lt. Eve Dallas and Detective Delia Peabody are investigating the death of Father Miguel Flores who collapsed in the middle of a funeral service. The autopsy shows he died from poison in his communion wine. The autopsy also shows that the priest had a gang tattoo removed and surgery to change his face. The tattoo was from a NYC gang that was prevalent fifteen years ago. As Eve and Peabody work to discover the identity of the priest, a second person dies from poison...this one a TV Evangelist. Is it a coincidence or is there a serial killer?

After 27 books, the series is still going strong. The story started out a little slow but picked up its pace by the middle of the book. Most of the usual cast of characters makes an appearance in this one, along with a bevy of suspects and eyewitnesses. My rating: 4 Stars.
