The Rosary Murders by William Kienzle, is about a murderer, who leaves a rosary as a calling card. The murder victims are exclusively religous. Priests and nuns are being murdered in Detroit. Naturally, the priests and nuns are nervous and afraid. The editor of the Catholic diocesan newspaper, Father Bob Koesler, loves mysteries. He follows the story both for the story, but also because he loves to read mysteries and here is one right in his neighborhood.
Other characters include:
Joe Cox--newspaper reporter
Police Lieutenant Koznicki
Various priests and police
Why would someone pick priests and nuns to murder? The second victim, Sister Ann, managed to write the name, Rob, with her blood, before she died. That was little help. No one could figure out what was going on until the murderer went to confession to Father Koesler. But what could he do? The Seal of Confession cannot be broken. It is so sacred that I'm not going to tell, you, the reader!
