Description

While helping a detention within the soup-kitchen at St. Mary's Church for an offense committed during her last situation, Sammy Keyes becomes the primary suspect in the disappearance of Father Mayhew's valued ivory mix. Ace investigator that she's, Sammy handles to show her purity but quickly finds that, under its relaxed exterior, St. Mary's is abuzz with news, envy, and interest--just like junior-high!  Meanwhile, back at college, Sammy's precious catcher's mitt--her only link to her dad--vanishes just when her group makes the semifinals.  Add for this blend: your dog who eats everything in sight, a training in safe breaking from the destitute woman who bears a striking similarity to Sammy, and a modern group of gospel-singing nuns named the Sisters of Mercy, and you have one crazy trip of the secret--or just another week Within the life of Samantha Keyes.
