What this book is about
Dr. Tess Court is a psychiatrist who is brought in to profile a killer who leaves Scripture quotations at murder scenes. Detective Ben Paris is the lead investigator. Their professional relationship develops into something personal as the killer's scope expands. Sacred Sins is an early Nora Roberts romantic suspense — grittier and more explicitly violent than her later work.
