Summary

Prímum Mystérium. The First Mystery.

A chilling message scrawled in blood. A sacred object offered as a cruel Communion. Misleading evidence intentionally left behind.

When Washington County investigator Chris Majek is called to the scene of a retired priest's horrific murder, little does he know the emotional chasm it will open. And little does he know that this murder is a portend of more to come.

As the investigation unfolds, it reveals terrible secrets--yet the killer's identity eludes and confounds Chris and the team. As an investigator, a husband, and a father, Chris is haunted by questions he does not want to face.

How far would someone go to seek retribution for such depravity committed against the innocent? How far will the investigation go to follow his own suspicions, no matter where they may lead?

As riveting as it is unsettling, Unholy Communion is ripped from the headlines exposing the scandalous epidemic rocking the Catholic Church today.
