The Mystery of Iniquity

In this fourth and final entry in the Jon Mote Mysteries, our accidental

sleuth and his sister Judy find themselves entangled in an international web of

evil done and evil revenged. The often confused but always curious Jon finds

himself the father of triplets and, for reasons not always clear even to

himself, back in church. Judy, a woman with mental challenges but a heart as

wide as the horizon, is now living with Jon and wife Zillah, helping them raise

“our children.”

New to church, but somehow

appointed to the Missions Committee (soon renamed the Care and Compassion

Committee), Jon is asked to be the liaison with an immigrant family from Iraq

the church wishes to aid. No one realizes that offering such help puts everyone

in jeopardy, as evil done afar comes near to roost.

The cast of characters from past

novels in the series reappears, including the band of residents from Judy’s

group home and the iron-willed theologian Sister Brigit. All are involved in

this dramatic investigation into the nature of evil in the human experience and

all contribute to Jon’s stumbling but dogged pilgrimage toward greater

wholeness.
