Church treasurer Leroy Boyd's nose was decidedly out of joint when he spoke to Reverend Eldon Littlejohn about the handling of church funds. And while the young pastor did his best to put Leroy's fears to rest, someone else did an even better job. For Leroy was found the next morning, floating face down in the baptistery font, with a bullet hole in his chest.

Unfortunately, with no suspects in line, all eyes focus on the outspoken reverend, whose views on salvation have made both friends and foes among the faithful. But while sorting out the truth to save his own neck, Eldon Littlejohn discovers that claiming Divine guidance can be the perfect cover for a sinner with some shameful secrets and a grand scale scheme for redemption.
