BEDEVILED (A Father Jake Austin Mystery - Book 4)
Father Jake Austin investigates a charismatic preacher and the connection between his church and the drug overdose of one teenager, the abduction of another, and the savage beating of a nun. What he uncovers is a chilling evil at the heart of a human trafficking ring. Murder, mayhem, and a malignant ministry that Father Brown couldn’t have even imagined a century ago.
