Short Description of The Counterfeit Nun and Three Mysteries The Counterfeit Nun is a story of two lovers, Luke and Jennifer, who have a difficult time getting together because she is a student at a conservative women's college Jennifer, who works part-time in the office of the Mother Superior, intercepts a letter from Sister Mary Terese, a nun-scholar about to visit the college and, forging her boss's name, writes to Sister Mary asking her to delay her visit for a couple of months. Then she dresses Luke in a nun's outfit and passes him off as Sister Mary. Fortunately no one at Marydale College had ever seen St. Mary Terese, so the counterfeit nun makes a successful debut and is immediately put to work, teaching religion classes, greeting the conservative parents of the students, including Jennifer's, and becoming a cause celebre at Marydale. Luke is a bit too successful because one of the nuns, nicknamed The Amazon by the students, becomes infatuated with the counterfeit nun, never dreaming he is not a she. And then the complications begin. Three mysteries, featuring the eccentric Inspector L. Pequod Dyxx, precede the nun's story."
