As this novel opens, Hayden Konig has resigned from his musical duties at St. Barnabas. His feelings about this are mixed–he’s happy to be away from the pressure of the big Holy Week services, but he knows that the choir is dwindling in numbers and quality and that the replacement organist, Agnes Day, is not up to Hayden’s standards. St. Barnabas has some interesting problems–the most exciting of which is what to do with the $16 million windfall that the church is about to receive. Hayden’s significant other, Meg, is heading the committee that will propose how the church should use the money. Meg asks Hayden to join the committee, seeing this as a way to lure Hayden back to fuller participation in the church. Soon something else brings Hayden back–a body in the choir loft. Someone bludgeoned Agnes Day to death with a hand bell after the Palm Sunday service. As Hayden investigates the murder, he finds that many people had reasons to dislike Agnes.
