The smell of gasoline points to murder; the body is Thomas Warrendale, choir director at First Baptist Church in St. Joseph, Indiana. Detective RJ Franklin Jr. is a parishioner, and his insider's knowledge makes him the obvious choice to lead the investigation. The congregation doubled after Warrendale revamped the music to appeal to a more youthful crowd. RJ's godmother, Mama B, tells him Warrendale was also an accountant and a "fancy pants" seducer. Turns out Warrendale's real name was Tyrone Warren; he was a CPA in Cleveland. When someone breaks in to the office and the homes of Warrendale's former clients, the trail leads into places that serves as the backbone of the community. -- adapted from publisher info
