The bloodied body of a crucified man is discovered in the Second Federation Church in an Irish Heritage Town on the first Friday of summer. The investigations by Inspector Starrett of the Serious Crime Unit and his young team soon reveal a County Donegal that is not nearly as righteous as its many churches might suggest. The body is that of local master carpenter James Moore, whom Starrett discovers was having a relationship with the wife of the pastor of the same church the body was found in - and she has mysteriously disappeared. First of a major new crime series.
