Le informazioni sulla "mafia di San Gallo" espresse dai suoi stessi cardinali affiliati mettono in dubbio la liceità dell'elezione di Francesco al soglio petrino ma non ci tolgono il dovere di pregare per lui e per la sua conversione.

Today's laws are very different from the Laws of Moses. So, for Christians, there is a constant need to unpeel the layers of history that have added and subtracted, and even distorted God's laws. For while Christians may be saved by faith, not works, God's laws should not be totally forgotten. The aim of these studies, then, is to show how meaningful and relevant the Laws of Moses are to believers in the twenty-first century. The sixteen studies provide a snapshot of the kind of God that Christians believe in and the kind of behaviour that he expects from his people. They are divided, thematically, into four blocks of four, to assist those who would prefer to tackle the subject in smaller bites.

So she seeks out Madam Z, a dubious occultist, to assist in getting rid of it.

Along with Heather's kooky aunt, add an adorable, trouble-making feline, a missing pair of red stiletto sandals the police are after, and a handsome bookstore owner who has captured Heather's heart, for a fun cozy mystery that's sure to make you smile.
