Book Description
The murder of Clem and Caroline Rush's dropout high school friend, Mary Lou, increases their desire to establish a unique school they hope will help prevent dropouts. Clem visits Mary Lou's indicted husband in jail, who claims innocence and tells her that his wife was seeing another man. Mary Lou's mother tells authorities that her daughter was distraught after a phone conversation with someone she believes was the daughter's lover, but the diary she left behind does not name him. Clem and her sister search County records, which reveal the county education committee rejected Caroline's request to lease the old school building for her dropout school in favor of a bar/gambling joint. Martin Rush argues with Georgia State Police Captain Michael Tarnoff, Caroline's fiance, at the Rush home, then both leave without a word to the family. His body is found next day in a creek on the Rush property, his car missing. His death is also determined to be murder, but seems to have no connection to their friend's death. In his home office desk Clem finds a report from a private investigator hired by their father. The report is proof that Caroline's fiance had affairs with several women, and mentions pictures though none are included with the letter. The Sheriff and deputies search the Rush home, he finds the PI report, and accuses Clem of hiding the pictures. The two sisters join their brother at the bar where their friend worked and the bartender who hired her agrees to meet them for lunch next day at a café in town to tell what he knows. At dinner the sisters are bringing Susannah, housekeeper and surrogate mother up to date when their brother arrives with Belt Elliot, the bartender, as well as Nate Simmons, the student Mary Lou dated in high school, who ran into each other at the site of Mary Lou's murder, and leave the impression they have just met. Next day Clem finds the pictures hidden in her father's city office. In the building's parking garage she sees Michael, believes he was waiting for her. Stopping at a fast food restaurant she sees bartender Belt with Nate Simmons, wonders if they actually did know each other before dinner with the family. Arriving home as she shares her discovery of the pictures with Caroline and Chance, Belt and Nate again come to the Rush home. Clem and Chance, having permits, decide to arm themselves. While sharing information the group is shocked when the murderer bursts into the room and attempts to take them hostage.

Book Description
"A sophisticated and baffling thriller . . . a real bone-freezer." —Publishers Weekly "Ingenious, witty, literate—at once irreverent and compassionate—an impressive tour indeed for a first-time novelist." —Los Angeles Times "Well-paced, tightly written, exciting as hell, and, quite possibly, the best mystery I've read in years." —Dallas Times-Herald The Rosary Murders was William X. Kienzle's first Father Koesler mystery, published in 1978. Twenty-three more books followed, creating a best-selling mystery series mostly set in Detroit and reflecting the personality of its hero, Father Robert Koesler, a diocesan priest with a penchant for sleuthing. The Rosary Murders was named one of the top twenty-five mysteries of the twentieth century in spring 2000 by the Chicago Sun-Times. It was also made into a movie, with Donald Sutherland in the role of Father Koesler. In The Rosary Murders, Detroit priests and nuns are being methodically murdered; all are found with a plain black rosary entwined between their fingers as a calling card. From Ash Wednesday, when the murderer first struck, the police seem helpless to solve the string of senseless murders. The weeks that follow become a nightmare for the crack homicide team headed by Lieutenant Walter Koznicki, until Father Koesler breaks the madmen's code. Here is a story with tension, excitement, intelligence, and a rare wit and humor. Kienzle painstakingly leads you through every step in an intensive police investigation of heinous series of murders. Police procedure and Pulitzer Prize-winning newspaper reporting are as much a part of the action as the crimes themselves. With superb control of the novel's movement, Kienzle can tantalize at a tortoise's pace and torment with a breakneck hare's pace.
