Salvation in death - J.D. Robb

A priest is conducting the funeral service for a beloved member of his congregation. But when he lifts the chalice to his lips, he dies suddenly and horribly - poisoned by the blood of Christ. 

Who would want to murder a parish priest in such a way? And who could get access to the closely guarded community wine? 

Lieutenant Eve Dallas is called to the scene. Although initially there seems to have been nothing out of the ordinary about the priest's life, something about the situation just doesn't add up. And then she starts to uncover the evil lurking behind the ceremonial robes. The dead priest was not who he seemed to be - he harboured a dark, deadly secret that could bring Eve's own demons rushing back.
