Product Description
The truth behind an unholy crime-includes photos.
On March 25, 2001, the body of a Catholic nun- stabbed 92 times-was discovered at South Florida's Holy Cross Academy. Police captured her killer-a young apprentice monk. But the deeper the investigation got, the more sordid and disturbing the story became.
Reader ReviewsStudents of American history may find Murder at Holy Cross somewhat reminiscent of the early 19th century lurid accounts of the purported goings on inside Catholic convents and monasteries. Two hundred years later we are still shocked by the immorality exposed by the author at this Florida monastery. A very frank account of what can happen when people( here the head monks) have absolute control over the lives of young men who are studying to become members of the order. Highly recommended for true crime mavens.
