Leigh Koslow's thrice-married Aunt Bess always was
the black sheep of the family. That's why when Bess
breaks her ankle falling down a flight of stairs in the
middle of the night, Leigh isn't too surprised to discover
that the stairs were someone else's. But when she
discovers that the stairs belonged to Bess's happily
wedded pastor, and that his house was burning down at
the time, she can't help but be concerned. The First
Church of the New Millenium has problems—and Bess,
with Leigh as her reluctant aide, is intent on solving
them. Is the charismatic reverend Reginald Humphrey a
saint among men, or a soulless con artist? With arson,
burglary, and a possible abduction on the bulletin, Leigh
enlists the aid of her favorite detective, Maura Polanski,
to keep her aunt from becoming the next offering. But
Bess isn't one to give up on a good cause, even when
the postlude is murder.
