[Sister Joan Mystery 04] • A Vow of Obedience

Sixteen-year-old Valerie vanishes from home in the small hours clad only in her robe and slippers. Three days later, Sister Joan finds her body abandoned in the convent's little Moor Schoolhouse. The dead girl is dressed in wedding white. A garland of leaves encircles her head and a thin red line runs round her neck. Valerie has been strangled.

Then a second young Catholic girl, also dressed in white, turns up dead.

Sister Joan is once again torn between her religious duties and helping Detective Sergeant Mill’s inquiries . . .

BUT TIME IS RUNNING OUT.

The threat of violence moves closer to the convent with sightings of a skulking figure and Sister Hilaria found unconscious outside the gates — the victim of a hit-and-run.

MEET SISTER JOAN, A REBEL NUN WHO VOWS TO FIND OUT THE TRUTH.
