Book Cover & Preview Text
The man hanging on the cross at Mission San Fernando Rey definitely wasn’t the Savior. The best that could be said of him was that he was a corrupt financier, the worst a rapist and child molester who traded in political favors. His death wasn’t a suicide; that was obvious. It had been staged. But why here in this remote Spanish mission over twenty miles from downtown Los Angeles?
Detective Mathieu stared up at the man on the cross and wondered how his killers had got him up there. The young detective had encountered the victim on his first case and despised him. Now he’d have to find his killer. It wasn’t a task he relished.
