Feet of Clay

Hero worship is dangerous when the hero knows she doesn't deserve it.Sister Jacobine has served the Catholic Church for centuries. She looks twenty-five, heals from any wound, and carries out the Pope's most final assignments with a gun in her Gucci handbag.Her latest target is Bishop McGinty in Philadelphia. The execution itself is routine. Getting arrested for murder before she reaches her rental car is not.Detective Rafferty has video of the killing, the murder weapon, and a suspect who seems remarkably unconcerned about spending the rest of her life behind bars. Then a call from the Vatican turns an open-and-shut homicide into something he cannot explain—and an unexpected detour introduces Alice to Rafferty's sister Rachel, a woman who has built her life around the legend of Sister Jacobine.Rachel thinks Sister Jacobine is a hero. Alice knows better.For the first time in centuries, the immortal nun begins telling someone the truth: who she is, where she came from, why she cannot die, and why being admired for the violence that has defined her life cuts far deeper than any wound.Feet of Clay launches A Nun With A Gun, Mark Posey's supernatural thriller series about an immortal nun, the secrets of the Church, and the human cost of surviving long enough to become a legend.A Nun With A Gun is a series of short stories and novelettes about Sister Jacobine, the Pope's hitwoman.
