DIVINE INTERVENTION How do you make God laugh? Tell Him youve got a plan. Thats what Sister Mary Helen reminds herself when she sets out to start a new life--as a volunteer in a womens homeless shelter. A savvy octogenarian with an adventurous streak, Mary Helen is no stranger to the shady side of San Franciscos hilly streets. So when a young resident at the Refuge shelter is found dead, Mary Helen makes it her business to solve the murder. Soon this lady of the Order gets herself into a holy mess involving corrupt local politicians, a prostitution ring, and a tangled web of private-eyes, police officers, and the refugees themselves. Mary Helen calls upon her beloved sisters at St. Francis College for salvation, but its going to take a lot of prayers to protect Mary Helen from the dangerous characters--and shocking confessions--that come in her wake...
