When Detective Lieutenant Eve Dallas confirms that the consecrated wine contained potassium cyanide, she’s determined to solve the murder of Father Miguel Flores, despite her discomfort with her surroundings. It’s not the bodegas and pawnshops of East Harlem that bother her, though the neighborhood is a long way from the stone mansion she shares with her billionaire husband, Roarke. It’s all that holiness flying around at St. Christobal’s that makes her uneasy.
A search of the victim’s sparsely furnished room reveals little-- except for a carefully hidden religious medal with a mysterious inscription, and a couple of underlined Bible passages. The autopsy reveals more: faint scars of knife wounds, a removed tattoo--and evidence of plastic surgery, suggesting that “Father Flores” may not have been the man his parishioners had thought. Now, as Eve pieces together clues that hint at gang connections and a deeply personal act of revenge, she believes she’s making progress on the case. Until a second murder--in front of an even larger crowd of worshippers--knocks the whole investigation sideways. And Eve is left to figure out who committed these unholy acts--and why.

For me these stories always look similar but this time we had the first murder and a second one looking like a serial killer, but Eve was super smart and discovered that in reality the second was just a copycat. Different because usually her investigations are related homicides, but this time she had a difficult time discovering the reason to kill a priest.
Eve had a difficult time with the religion part, mostly because she just doesn't understand the cult and some rules, but Roarke was helpfull and she even got the help of a priest trying to do the right thing. For me the investigation was nice and the end during the interrogation Eve showed why she's the best.
