Happy are the Merciful

Beautiful heiress Clare Turner was found guilty of murder -- the brutal slaying of her wealthy adoptive parents -- and is about to be executed. Now, Terry Scanlan, the handsome prosecutor who sent Clare to prison, has fallen in love with her and believes she's innocent. Plagued by guilt and hoping he can still save Clare's life, Terry turns to his confessor, Bishop Blackie Ryan, to help find the REAL killer. But, as Blackie begins to investigate, he soon discovers a deadly trail of blackmail and deceit in the courtroom -- and in the church.
