Noreen Gilpatrick, Shadow Of Death

The body of a beautiful senior from a strict fundamentalist Christian high school is found in a state forest. Policewoman Kate MacLean is assigned to investigate the murder, and the deeper she digs into the tight-lipped religious community, the more horrifying the mystery becomes, until more parishiooners’ bodies are found–and Kate, too, is running out of time.
