Father Frank Mystery

Churches are burning and a man is murdered. Father Frank DeLuca is thrust into an impossible dilemma when he learns another church will be burned. But the information comes to him via the confessional, and church law forbids him telling anyone-even the police. He doesn't know which church, when, or by whom. Still, he can't sit idly by, and no law prevents him looking into the matter himself. His investigation leads him dangerously close to the local drug scene and he soon discovers the danger has come to him. Can he save his own church? Can he save his own life?
