Summary

Roman Catholic priest Jerry Rome is looking forward to a relaxing sabbatical at Loyola University in Chicago. He's set to take a summer course entitled "Sexuality and the Ministry," and he anticipates the entire experience will be pleasant, informative, and filled with his favorite out-of-church pastime, tennis. When a fellow student is murdered, though, the real games begin.The victim's body is found in strange condition, and the authorities are stumped. Luckily, Jerry already befriended a local Chicago police detective named Joyce Jackson. Maybe they'll be able to solve the case together, but it soon becomes apparent that things are a lot more complicated than good guy catches bad. What at first resembled a relaxing vacation is turning into a dark storm of unforeseen events.Not the least of Jerry's concerns is the sensual Juanita Cabalero, a dark-skinned and strikingly beautiful Colombian who may threaten Jerry's priestly vows of celibacy. In order to catch a killer, Jerry and Joyce must use careful, skilled strategy-even when Juanita's odd affections get in the way. Jerry may discover the truth about the Loyola murders, but will he survive to win the final, gory match?
