The Dust of Death (An Inspector Starrett Mystery)

Inspector Starrett is in his mid forties, dresses well, likes a pint of Guinness and is a decade into his third career. The locals say he may have a sixth sense: he's not so sure but has been eternally grateful when that special something or other has kept him out of trouble and come to his aid on a few of his cases. Now the bloodied body of a crucified man is discovered in a Church in an Irish Heritage Town on the first Friday of summer and Starrett and the rest of the Serious Crime Unit are investigating. The team soon realizes that town is not nearly as righteous as its many churches might suggest.
