Murder didn't stop Mac Smith & Annabel Reed from falling in love, or from getting married at the glorious church on the hill in Washington, D.C., the National Cathedral. But the brutal murder of a friend drags them from their newlywed bliss into an unholy web of intrigue & danger. The body is found in the cathedral. There are scant clues & no suspects. And to further complicate matters, a parallel crime is committed at a church in England's Cotswolds, where the honeymooners have recently been visitors. Across the sea go the Smiths again, & straight into the center of an ungodly plot of secret agents, a playboy priest, a frustrated lover, a choleric cleric... & a murder so perfect it's a sin.
