An elderly priest has been found dead. The police investigation has begun by the LAPD to determine whether Monsignor Leland committed suicide or died at the hands of another. Monsignor Leland had been accused of molesting young boys many years ago, though no charges were ever filed. A Los Angeles Times staff writer, Marco Vori, is writing an investigative series regarding the priest sex abuse in the Catholic Church when Monsignor Leland contacts him to provide information regarding his investigative series. Now the priest has been found dead and Marco Vori is missing. Days later, Marco’s best friend, Elizabeth Pearson, begins receiving e-mails from the dead priest asking her if she’s received “the book.” Elizabeth eventually stumbles upon the evidence that the monsignor was trying to reveal to Vori. Having such damaging information in her possession, Elizabeth has to run for her life from extremely powerful individuals who act to ensure that the truth never comes to light.
