The Serpent's Tongue (a Dick Hardesty Mystery) (volume 15) [Paperback]

When Dick Hardesty is hired to look into threats against former priest Dan Stabile, possibly from someone whose confession Dan heard while still in the priesthood, its just another case. Then, on a stormy Sunday, on a rain-slick road, Dan is killed, Dicks partner Jonathan is severely injured, and suddenly, its personal. Was the accident really an accident...or murder? Dick learns Dans secret could involve a child murderer, and now it seems the man is stalking their son Joshua and tormenting Jonathan. The objectivity so vital to Dicks role as a private investigator goes out the window as he pursues one lead after another, and it begins to look like Dan wasnt the target after all.
