A rookie PI trying to save an innocent man. Hacker-turned-private investigator C.T. Ferguson is new to the job. He's learning the ropes. He wants an easy case.
Instead he gets a mess. Near a Baltimore church, a man is found murdered, stabbed a dozen times in the chest. C.T. uncovers the victim's history of abuse by priests—including the one stationed at the church where his body was discovered.
Then there's Ernie, a publicity-hungry blogger and podcaster who injected himself into a murder case . . . and is now the prime suspect.
C.T. also learns of plans to build a new church . . . plans that could be threatened by a corpse turning up.
With Ernie in jail and the priest reluctant to talk about the past, C.T. must dodge the shadowy figures harassing him to sort through everyone's histories. If he can't figure out what happened, an innocent man will pay the price.
The Confessional is the first C.T. Ferguson crime novella.
