Meet Sister Agnes. She’s not your typical nun. She loves killer shoes, sipping prosecco — and solving mysteries . . .

A holy grail . . . or a poisoned chalice?

Agnes has never met Jay Sorrell. But she knows his type. Tall, dark and dangerously magnetic. A Catholic boy turned petty criminal, he’s not one to play by the rules. Now he’s vanished, leaving his wife to hunt for him at Agnes’s homeless shelter.

But the search ends in tragedy. Late one night, Agnes wakes to the sound of sirens — and the acrid smell of smoke.

St Bruno’s church is burning. Agnes races to the scene, in time to see a body being pulled from the smoking ruins. This is no random John Doe. It’s Jay. Whoever lit the fatal match must have known . . .

Down in the ruined crypt, a safe gapes open. Was this the hiding place of the fabled Judas chalice? A priceless heirloom that’s been missing for decades.

Some would kill to lay hands on this prize. And if Jay happened to be standing in the way of that . . . ?

Agnes won’t stop until she uncovers the truth about Jay’s death and the missing treasure.

But once she’s sipped from this deadly cup, there’s no going back . . .
