[Father Koesler 22] • Till Death

The priesthood or Lil? It would be a gut-wrenching decision for Rick.Sixty-year-old Father Rick Casserly, the much loved, socially conscious pastor or St. William of Thierry church, and Lillian Lil Niedermier, the principal at a nearby elementary school, share a common bond. They are secret lovers, driven into the closet by the Catholic Church's position on the marriage of its clergy members. And when troubled former nun (and now reporter) Dora Riccardo sets her cap for Rick, the already complex state of affairs unfolds into a spiraling scenario that isn't resolved until someone is dead.In his capacity as an amateur crime investigator, Father Robert Koesler struggles to bring closure to a set of circumstances charged with forbidden love and tortured souls.
