Silence of St. Bernard

When Father Ignatius Lacroix seeks solace at the tranquil Trappist monastery of St. Bernard's Abbey, he expects quiet contemplation, not the whispers of secrets buried deep within its sacred walls. But when Brother Anselm, the abbey's historian, is found dead at the base of the bell tower, what appears to be a tragic accident reveals itself as something far more sinister.
Drawn reluctantly into the investigation, Lacroix uncovers a web of deceit tied to the abbey's prized relic-a fragment of St. Bernard's robe-and financial irregularities that threaten the very foundation of the monastery. As tensions rise among the monks, Lacroix must use his sharp intellect and unshakable faith to navigate lies, betrayals, and a desperate bid to conceal the truth.
Rich in suspense, moral complexity, and moments of grace, The Silence of St. Bernard is a deeply satisfying mystery in the beloved Mighty Monk series.
