From the author of A Dark Redemption
Book Two in the Carrigan and Miller series
It is eleven days before Christmas, and an early morning fire rages through a West London square, engulfing a convent tucked within a handsome residential neighborhood. Detectives Jack Carrigan and Geneva Miller arrive at the dreadful scene to find eleven dead bodies—but there were only ten nuns in residence. Despite the department's top brass pressing for the case to be solved before the holidays, the detectives suspect more than mere arson. Why did the nuns make no move to escape the fire? Who is the eleventh victim? And where is the convent's influential priest liaison to the church, the one man who can answer their questions?
Shortlisted for the coveted Old Peculier Novel of the Year award, Eleven Days, the new entry in Sherez's acclaimed series which began with A Dark Redemption, follows Carrigan and Miller as they unravel an elaborate mystery that spans four decades and two continents. On their second case together, the partners, at once fresh and familiar, confront both their haunting pasts and the dangers that threaten to cut short their futures. As pressure intensifies to close the case, they struggle to solve a hidden history whose exposure threatens both the church and the political establishment.

      In Sherez's engrossing sequel to 2013's A Dark Redemption, Det. Insp. Jack Carrigan and Det. Sgt. Geneva Miller investigate the mysterious deaths of 10 nuns in a fire at a convent house in a posh London neighborhood. The nuns appear to have perished sitting at a table, having made no effort to escape the flames. An unidentified 11th victim turns up in a confession booth. Although Assistant Chief Constable Quinn presses for a quick and easy solution, Carrigan and his team soon realize this is a complex case. Most of the nuns served time in Peru, and at least five of them were tortured by a technique known as "tickling the bone," but their wounds are 30 to 40 years old. Father McCarthy, a priest who often visited the convent, is suddenly unavailable for questioning, and Roger Holden, the diocese's spokesman, is less than forthcoming. A surprising plot and well-developed characters led by Carrigan and Miller make for a highly satisfying mystery. Agent: Lesley Thorne, Aitken Alexander Associates (U.K.).
