Rachel Higgins has been living in the shadow of her son’s death for years, it isn’t until a box with his few possessions is delivered to her that she takes the time to put the pieces together. What the story tells is a nightmare for any parent. Father Needham, the swim coach at St. Francis High, was behind the destruction of several students. Systematically he picked his victim, groomed them, and until the Church became aware went undetected. Once Archbishop Francis Gillespie was made aware, Needham was sent to prison. But the damage was done and Rachael is determined to hold Francis Gillespie accountable for allowing the assaults to continue, for the death of her son, and the destruction of her marriage. Systematically, she begins to leave threats and when the day comes, she will take the final step and hold the Archbishop personally accountable.
Unable to brush the threats aside, Gillespie approaches High Noon Enterprises owned by Ali and her husband. With their help and that of Figg, the clues all begin to point to one person. A person who has taken all precautions to complete her task. But what Rachel wasn’t prepared for was the grace of Francis Gillespie and the words she has waited years to hear.
There are multiple layers to this story and multiple viewpoints, but the only one which matters and that will be the path the reader follows. There was a different depth to this book than the previous in the series. A smoother flow and a deeper connection to the characters. Having wondered in the past if I was going to continue with this series, this book has cemented me into sticking with Ali and her team, no matter where J. A. Jance takes us next.
