Description: Faith Fairchild lives in a quaint Massachusetts town. A minister's wife, Faith is a caterer-detective. Working at full stretch with a demanding bride-to-be, she faces tragedy when she discovers the body of her elderly friend Sarah Winslow, who had apparently surprised burglars ransacking her house. Then the Fairchilds themselves are targeted - the parsonage is stripped of their most precious possessions. When Faith takes action, scouring pawnshops, and auctions, she finds some of their stolen property, but then she is drawn onto a dangerous path of corruption in New England's antiques business - a path that leads Faith straight to a killer.
