Love & Grace + Break Point

His sanctuary is the tennis court. His opponent is a killer hiding behind scripture. Get the first two books in the electrifying mystery series readers are calling a "page-turning powerhouse."

Meet Friar Thomas "Tom" Bellini: a fifty-three-year-old Franciscan friar with a past he thought he'd left behind-a career as a professional tennis player. Now, his quiet life of prayer and coaching at-risk youth is about to be shattered. He thinks his greatest challenge is a creaky backhand, but when a killer begins a sermon written in blood, Friar Tom's analytical mind and unwavering faith become his only weapons.

This special double-feature collection includes the first two novels in the series:

Book 1: Love & Grace
The peace of the friary's memorial garden is destroyed when a prominent parishioner is found murdered, a pristine porcelain dove in her hand. The calling card left on her chest is a rosary-one that was stolen from Friar Tom's own cell. Drawn into the investigation, Tom realizes the killer is using the hallowed verses of the Prayer of St. Francis as a gruesome murder map. To stop the killings, he must unravel a dark conspiracy of secrets and lies, where love and grace are twisted into instruments of vengeance.

Book 2: Break Point
The game goes global. When a star player collapses and dies on center court at the US Open, the world sees a tragic accident. Friar Tom, there as a chaperone for his youth group, sees something else: a sacred Franciscan relic clutched in the victim's hand. Soon, a new ritual killer emerges, turning the beautiful verses of the Canticle of the Sun into a liturgy of death against the high-stakes backdrop of New York City. Teaming up again with the sharp Detective Dana Mercer and his loyal friend Joe Martinez, Tom is plunged into a hunt for a brilliant, fallen theologian who believes murder is a holy sacrament.

Fans of character-driven clerical mysteries like Father Brown, the suspense of James Patterson, and the intricate puzzles of Louise Penny will find their next obsession in this riveting amateur sleuth series. If you love fast-paced action, unforgettable characters, and thrillers that make you think, you won't be able to put this down.
