Moroni Traveler finds it a blessing and a curse to be named
for the angel that graces the top of the temple looming over Brigham Young’s
city. The ex–football star–turned–private detective has returned to Salt Lake
City, a town he once called home.
During a spring blizzard, Moroni meets Penny Varney, the ungodly
daughter of a powerful high churchman. She retains him to find her mother—whom
she fears is dead. His boyhood friend, Willis Tanner, also solicits his
services on the same day. Moroni can’t believe his luck, but there’s a catch:
Willis is acting for the church and wants Moroni to keep an eye on Penny. Moroni
is soon on the trail of a far-out religious sect whose self-appointed savior
calls for sanctified murder. Moroni must act fast to close the case and
discover the truth. The next victim could be him.

“Irvine has a sure hand at
interweaving plot and subplot, and a deft feel for characterization. His
new protagonist is a likable addition to the long line of tough yet
tender gumshoes.”
