Product Description
Monstrance I: Objet D'Art - First Edition Released Feb. 2010 / Second Edition Released Dec. 2012. Based in part on true crimes and real events.
Short Description: Made of pure platinum and encrusted with jewels, the Jackson-Bonet Monstrance is a spectacular religious relic, designed to exhibit the Holy Eucharist for the adoration of the faithful. Its value is immeasurable, so when it is stolen from the vault of a small Catholic monastery and college, local, state, and federal law enforcement converge on the peaceful Oklahoma campus. To add insult to injury, the college's beloved president, Fr. Xavier Kettering dies within hours of the theft. Is it just a tragic coincidence? Or did someone set out to create a diversion in order to steal the monstrance? Initial suspicion falls on the museum's former curator, a devastatingly handsome Benedictine monk named Brother Michelangelo.
The first of a four-book series, Monstrance I: Object D'Art is a compelling, sometimes shocking novel based in part on true crimes and actual events, but written as fiction. All characters appearing in this work are fictitious.
