โฆ Synopsis
On a snowy Thursday night in Chicago, there is a knock on Detective Hank Purcell's door. Sister Mary Philomena has seen something terrible at Saint Fidelis Church - - a violation of all she holds sacred. The next Monday, she is found murdered in the convent basement, next to a furnace stuffed with old papers and photographs. And Margaret, Hank's teenage daughter, has diappeared. Hank and his unconventional partner Marvin Bondarowicz try to force their way through a wall of ecclesiastical silence to find the killer, while their search for Margaret takes them from swank lakeside flats to drug dens to southside basement blues clubs ... and the snow keeps falling. - back cover.
