readandburied | In the Name of the Father by Gerri Hill

In this sequel to "Hunters Way," Dallas Homicide Detective Tori Hunter and Samantha Kennedy investigate the murder of a Catholic priest who is found naked and strangled in a fast-paced police thriller.

In The Name of The Father by Gerri Hill is the sequel to her 2007 novel Hunter’s Way, with Hunter’s newest case being investing the murder of a Catholic priest, complicated by publicity issues, homophobia, outside interference, and the attempts to bury any suggestion that the victim may have been in a consensual gay relationship.

In The Name of The Father is… Definitely not as enjoyable as Hunter’s Way, but it does have plus sides.
