Who killed Father Moore, and why was the dead man wearing only one, unfashionable lime-green sock? When coffee shop owner, and all around sassafras, Ethel Cunningham, finds the body of a priest in her buildings courtyard. She sets her sights on bad boy and lead detective on the case, Vince Carpino, and the priest-killer, Ethel gets thrown into a seedy world of sex, blackmail, and the church. Only then does she realize, a murderer might be closer than she thinks.
