'Divine Ruin is fearlessly inspired' Gillian Flynn
It's a steamy, restless end of the school year in New Orleans. Sister Holiday is busy teaching music classes and preparing for her permanent vow ceremony, a pivotal moment in her journey of faith. But when one of her favourite students is found dead of a fentanyl overdose, Sister Holiday and her partner-in-PI, Magnolia Riveaux, are launched on a mission to track down the drug dealers.
As students continue to fall prey to this sinister drug under her watch, Sister Holiday becomes more and more desperate to stop the epidemic. All the while, she must contend with her own past with addiction, a demon that is never too far.
As she goes deep undercover with a local gang, Sister Holiday's darkest and most shocking case yet will test the limits of her faith-and her sanity.
Everyone's favourite lesbian nun PI... Douaihy is as skilled as James Lee Burke at describing New Orleans... Not just a terrific tale of the Big Sleazy but a powerful portrait of a soul in torment * The Times *
Fierce, snappy prose, together with a fabulous flawed heroine, combine to make an unforgettable read * Daily Mail *
Douaihy's poetic prose and incredible voice shine as we rejoin our indomitable sleuth, Sister Holiday... Every bit as grisly and profane as it is beautiful and sacred. Divine Ruin is fearlessly inspired. -- Gillian Flynn
Douaihy weaves light into noir, poetry into breakneck plotting, and grace into grit... A journey that is both riveting and sacred -- Ana Reyes, author of 'The House in the Pines'
Lyrically written and terrifically plotted, the third book installment of this series is its best and most shocking yet * Criminal Element *
