An Angel for Father — Tom Mach

A small Kansas town is furious over a parish priest who apparently molested a young girl. The priest is murdered and all the evidence points to the child's mother. While Detective Matt Gunnison is certain of her guilt, two other persons of interest show up--one with a strong motive and the other with the knife that killed the priest. But as Matt and Susan, his assistant, explore more deeply they uncover the person who actually committed the murder. During all this time, Matt thinks he's in love with a woman named Heather. But what secret did he learn about Heather and what does Susan know that will blow this case wide open?
