Today is publication day for Blind Faith by Alicia Beckman. Published by Crooked Lane Books, the suspense novel is available in audio, digital, and print formats at the publisher, Amazon, and other vendors.
Synopsis:
Long-buried secrets come back with a vengeance in a
cold case gone red-hot in Agatha Award-winning author Alicia Beckman’s second
novel, perfect for fans of Laura Lippman and Greer Hendricks.
For decades, the unsolved murder of Father Michael
Leary has haunted Billings, Montana, the community he served. Who summoned the
priest late one autumn night, then left his body in a sandstone gully for the
ravens and other wild scavengers?
And it’s haunted no one more than Lindsay Keller, who
admired and confided in him as a teenager. Compelled by his example to work for
justice, she became a prosecutor. But after a devastating case left her
shattered, she fled the rough-and-tumble for the safety of a desk, handling
real estate deals and historic preservation projects. Good work, but not what
she’d dreamed of.
Now Lindsay finds herself in possession of the
priest’s wallet, the photo of a young girl tucked inside. She’s sure she knows
the girl, and that it’s tied to his death. But how?
Detective Brian Donovan, a hot-shot Boston transplant,
would like nothing more than to solve the county’s coldest case. Probing the
life and death of Father Leary takes Lindsay and Donovan deep into
long-simmering tensions in this seemingly-peaceful place.
Then another woman far away digs up unexpected clues
about her own family’s past—a history rooted in a shocking truth—and her
questions bring her to Lindsay and the detective. But the dangerous answers
could rock the community to its very core.
