The Mind of a Sleuth

In a pretty seaside town of South Jersey, appearances are not what they're cracked up to be for a select few who are taken in by a swindle they're ashamed to admit to. When one of these happens to be a young, inexperienced pastor, he turns to the only one who will be sure to keep his secret, his mother, Angellica. She knows the importance of protecting his naivety in business matters and ultimately uncovers others who've also been duped by a scheme of sinister proportions.

One of their more solid members is unaware that his selfishly secret goals need not be met by innocent communicants in this morally uplifting story. Angelica's strong belief that evil will be stopped by higher forces than she keeps her plodding on while hopefully keeping her investigation low-key. More horrific events occur than she is prepared for, and low-key is not what she inherits in the deal.
