The Virgin Murders

Channeling the Virgin Mary, a middle-aged rejected novitiate crosses the country from Oregon to Pennsylvania to complete a nine-month novena of double murders in Love Nests, International!, believing the novena will cleanse the world of sexual sinning. She leaves a small statue of the Madonna at each crime. When the female sheriff at the final crime uncovers the other eight crimes, the killer kidnaps the sheriff's young son to lure her to her death at a cabin deep in the woods. An armed standoff involves a priest, the sheriff, the boy's father, an intrepid reporter and the whole county force. Will the sheriff save her son? Or will they both become the final deaths in the killer's murderous novena?
