SISTER (ALTON RHODE MYSTERIES Book 4)

LAWRENCE DE MARIA'S ACCLAIMED THRILLERS AND MYSTERIES HAVE "A TOUCH OF BOURNE, A DASH OF BOND AND A SPRIG OF SPENSER". (John Crudele, the New York Post)

A nun’s murder in Massachusetts brings two homicide detectives to Alton Rhode’s office.

The New York private eye is quickly cleared as a suspect, but he is stunned when he finds out who the victim was. Before she became a nun, the dead woman was his first love – a young girl who disappeared mysteriously, leaving him bereft.

Plagued by long-suppressed memories, Rhode dedicates himself to finding the killer.

But the police are stumped. There are no suspects, clues or obvious motive. But then a pattern emerges, which sets Rhode on a cross-country hunt for a probable serial killer.

What he eventually discovers in SISTER shocks him to the core.
