Rumors

The body of a young woman is discovered buried in the vineyard at St. Peter Seminary.  Within hours the Chief Investigator for the Boulder Country Sheriff's Office identifies the remains and announces he'd put the killer behind bars years ago.  Case Closed!  But did he?  Doc Martini follows a trail of rumors and clues that at first cast doubt on the deputy's claims and then points a guilty finger at the priests living in the protective arms of the seminary.  What dark secrets are the Sheriff and the seminary hiding?  A dozen or more priests exiled behind the stonewalls.  Secrets or Rumors?  That's the deadly puzzle Doc and his partners must piece together in spite of the local politician intent on keeping some of the pieces off the playing board.
