The Shepherd's Flock: A Vinny DeLuca Mystery Book Two

The church always protects its own. When the beloved pastor of Copper Springs' largest congregation is found dead in his sanctuary, the whole town mourns—and the whole town points fingers at the outsider who threatened him the week before. Vinny's client is a drifter with a criminal record and no alibi, which should make this case impossible. But the more Vinny learns about Pastor Jim and his devoted flock, the less the official story makes sense. Behind the Sunday smiles and potluck dinners lies a congregation with secrets darker than any sermon warned against. Money gone missing. Confessions heard by the wrong ears. And a pattern of young people who left town suddenly, never to return. As Vinny peels back the righteous facade, he discovers that some shepherds don't protect their flock—they prey on them. And exposing the truth might cost him more than just a case.
