Description
When a wayward golf ball hits Matthias Kavanagh in the head, causing a
fatal riding accident, it is dismissed by his friends and family as
nothing more than a random and tragic act of God.
But Sister Agnes Bourdillon is troubled by the events surrounding his death, especially when she learns that another rider was injured in similar circumstances only days before.
Can it be mere coincidence, or was foul play at work?
Reason tells Agnes she is wrong to be suspicious; those closest to her beg her to let it lie.
But as a nun, she can’t accept that God and the universe can be so cruel. Another death is enough to convince her that a killer is at work.
Consumed by doubts and deserted by those she most depends upon, she will need to delve deep into her reserves of ingenuity and strength to establish not only the truth about what she’s sure is murder, but also the foundations of her own beliefs.
Ultimately, it will be another kind of faith that prevails; faith in herself.
Night Watch is an exciting and fast-paced murder mystery story from the author of Hidden Sins, The Dying Light, Dying to Know, Murder Will Out, and The Quick and the Dead.
