The Unholy Murder: When Evil Wears a Mask
In the opulent bathroom of his rectory, Archbishop Richard Rushman hums Beethoven's Ode to Joy, conducting an imaginary orchestra as steam clouds the mirror. The "Saint of Lakeview Drive," beloved for his work with homeless youth, has no idea these are his final moments. Downstairs, an intruder drinks chocolate milk directly from the carton, leaving telltale droplets on the pristine floor before selecting an ornate carving knife-a Vatican gift bearing the papal seal. Minutes later, the archbishop's cream-colored walls become a crimson gallery of horror in an attack so savage it suggests something deeply personal, almost ritualistic. When attorney Martin Vail-feared legal predator known for destroying prosecutors without mercy-is appointed to defend the suspect, he finds himself staring into the angelic face of nineteen-year-old Aaron Stampler. With cream-colored skin, gentle blue eyes "as gentle as those of a fawn," and a soft Appalachian accent, Aaron seems incapable of such brutality. Yet he was caught red-handed with the murder weapon and the bishop's ring. "I didn't kill him," Aaron insists in his high-pitched voice. "I was there when it happened... I panicked." What begins as a seemingly open-and-shut case will soon unravel into something far more sinister-a labyrinth of deception where innocence becomes the most convincing disguise of all.
