Mind Over Murder — William X. Kienzle

Monsignor Thomas Thompson has vanished. All that remains are his abandoned luxury car, a spent .32 caliber bullet, an offering of blood, an absence of fingerprints--and a list of the faithful with motives for murder, meticulously recorded in Monsignor's scandalous diary. Clearly it's a case for Father Bob Koesler--parish priest, Sunday golfer, mystery buff--who is obliged to breach a tenet of faith to bring the devil himself to confession.
