The Search for Saint Valeria

Life is never dull in William Biersachs mythical city of Los Angeles. In The Search for Saint Valeria the third entry in the series cop-turned-priest Fr. John Baptist and his faithful sidekick gardener and chronicler Martin Feeney are once again on the trail of the unusual and strange. Why is someone stealing discarded religious objects - relics altars chalices - from the citys antique shops? And why on earth would modern-day grave robbers want to steal the remains of a 4th century Saint from New Golgotha Cemetery? In this fast-paced story replete with a cast of memorable characters a healthy dose of red herrings and a generous helping of humour there is always more than meets the eye whether in means motives or methods. What with the hallowed history of the mystery genre some readers might be tempted to suppose that it has all been done. In his Father Baptist series William Biersach disproves this notion with a vengeance. These stories are fresh intricate vibrant and a heck of a lot of fun! The Search for Saint Valeria is indeed a noble addition to the canon.
