<b>In the follow-up to the controversial and critically acclaimed mystery&#160;<i>The Bishop's Wife,&#160;</i>Mormon housewife Linda Wallheim finds herself ruffling feathers in Draper, Utah, as she assists a murder investigation that is being derailed by transphobia within the LDS community.</b><br><br>In Draper, Utah, a tight-knit Mormon community is thrown into upheaval when their ward&rsquo;s second counselor&mdash;one of the bishop&rsquo;s right-hand men&mdash;is found dead in an elaborately staged murder on church property. Carl Ashby was known as a devout Mormon, a pillar of the community, and a loving husband and father. Who would want him dead?<br><br>Linda Wallheim, the wife of the ward&rsquo;s bishop, can&rsquo;t rest as long as the ward is suffering. She is particularly worried about Carl&rsquo;s grieving family. But the entire case is turned upside down by the autopsy report, which reveals Carl Ashby was a biological female. In the Mormon church, where gender is considered part of a person&rsquo;s soul, some people regard transgenderism as one of the worst possible transgressions of faith. Church officials seem to be more upset by Carl&rsquo;s gender than by his murder, and more concerned with hushing up the story than solving the crime.<br><br>Linda realizes that if the police are to catch the killer, they are going to need an ally on the inside&mdash;and she is the only one who can help. Carl was living a life of secrecy for twenty years. What else was he hiding&mdash;and can Linda ferret out the key to his death before the rumors tear her community apart?<br><br><br><i>From the Hardcover edition.</i>
