The Broken Saint: A Detectives Seagate and Miner Mystery (Detectives Seagate and Miner Mysteries) (Volume 3)

In The Broken Saint, Karen Seagate and Ryan Miner investigate the murder of Maricel Salizar, a young Filipino exchange student at Central Montana State. The most obvious suspect is the boyfriend, who happens to have gang connections. And then there's Amber Cunningham, a fellow student who's obviously incensed at Maricel for a sexual indiscretion involving Amber's boyfriend. But the evidence keeps leading Seagate and Miner back to the professor--and LDS bishop--who brought her into his dysfunctional home. Karen Seagate takes it in stride when she and her partner learn that the professor can't seem to tell the truth about his relationship with the victim. After all, Seagate's philosophy is, If he breathes, he lies. But to her devout partner, a high-ranking fellow Mormon who has violated every sacred trust deserves special punishment.
