Jamie Brodie is on deadline. The proposal for his second book is due, and he desperately needs uninterrupted writing time. At the suggestion of patron, friend, and former monk Clinton Kenneally - and over the protests of Pete Ferguson, Jamie’s husband - Jamie schedules a week-long writing retreat at a local monastery. But the monastery is not exactly what Jamie expected...which might explain the flicker of disquiet in Clinton’s eyes. Meanwhile, Kevin Brodie and Jon Eckhoff are dealing with a dead drug dealer, doggie diarrhea, and a camera crew from the reality TV show Two Days to Solve. The camera loves Jon, and vice versa. Kevin’s just trying to refrain from swearing on TV. But when the victim turns out to be someone from Kevin’s past, the case gets a whole lot more interesting. And there’s no way it’ll be solved in two days.
