A Matter of Faith: a Detective Stark Mystery

After the sudden death of her father, Faith Moreno has to cope with newly revealed family secrets, navigate church politics and prejudices to keep her job as the music director for St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church, and overcome religious dogma to pursue the man she loves -- the broodingly handsome Father Pat, someone she has had a crush on since high school. Is his kindness and attention to her Christian compassion or does he have an agenda of his own? When someone vandalizes the Moreno house, Detective Roger Stark is called to investigate. It starts him to wonder if something bigger and more sinister is going on. With his partner on his honeymoon, Stark weaves his way through scant and conflicting clues, a chorus of suspects, and whether or not God has already pre-determined the outcome. Does Faith Moreno's romantic pursuit of a Father Pat help Stark bring a murderer to justice or just mark her as another victim? The meaning of the shocking outcome is all up to a matter of faith: Faith?s, Stark?s, and yours.
