First, there is the wounded man hiding in the house, then the suitcase stuffed with money sitting at the bottom of the well, not to mention fearful apparitions in the night. Lord only knows what’s going on. That is, until the good sisters, armed only with their faith and boundless energy, set things right\u2014even if it means a shocking revelation or two about ghosts, gangsters, drugs…and murder.<\/p>\n Cast of Characters<\/strong> <\/p>\n Sister John – fixes all the machinery Abbess of St. Tabitha Sister Hyacinthe looked at her accusingly. “Sister John, you’re enjoying this!”<\/p>\n “I used to adore crossword puzzles,” confessed Sister John. “Let’s have a look in the barn, it won’t take but a moment.”<\/p>\n Sister Hyacinthe sighed. “I’ve driven several hundred miles today, Sister John, I’ve pulled money out of a well and a bleeding man out of a closet and we’ve still not had our supper.”<\/p>\n Sister John absently patted her arm. “Just a glance,” she promised, and strode across the lawn, skirts flying.<\/em><\/p>\n ***************************************** We now have a Universal book Link Created to almost every major retailer in the world that carries this book in all of its current available formats such as eBook, paperback and audio.
