Volume II in the Bevyn Jones Mystery Series

In the quiet folds of the Ontario Highlands lies a secluded commune—part sanctuary, part museum, and, to some, a powder keg of unspoken longing. Here, men and women live under vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience. Many dream of joining. Just as many dream of escaping.

Professor Bevyn Jones, an academic with a knack for uncovering uncomfortable truths, joins forces with Brother Kirk and Detective Watson to investigate the mysterious death. But as Bevyn digs deeper into the pasts of the commune’s members, he finds that every vow hides a secret, and some secrets are worth killing for.

Worse still, the investigation forces Bevyn to confront something even more unsettling: the truths he’s been hiding from himself.
