A Death at St. Anselm'sA Death at St. Anselm's rocks the wealthy Manhattan Episcopal church which has done so much to help the poor and homeless of the community. When the church's business manager is found murdered, suspicion naturally turns to the streetpeople who have been given shelter each night in the parish house. Incensed at this social bigotry, the Rev. Norbert Shearer is quick to defend the "disadvantaged: at the expense of his colleague, the Rev. Claire Aldington, a young widow and St. Anselm's therapist. Claire in turn fears she may be shielding her stepdaughter, Martha, a confused and anorexic teenager with problems of her own. But could martha be guilty of such a crime? --Book jacket. |
