What Happened at Salado Creek?
A murdered priest. An inherited rosary. A troubled young woman. And a mystery that leads Dr. MacArthur Donne to the banks of Salado Creek.
During the Christeros War in Mexico, the Catholic churches are closed by the government. Some priests refuse to stop their ministry and continue to celebrate Mass in secret.
Father Ramon Cantillo is one of them.
When Elena Balmares attends an early-morning secret Mass, government police burst in and assault Father Ramon, her childhood friend. As he lies injured on the floor, he presses his mother’s rosary into Elena’s hand.
Soon afterward, Father Ramon is murdered.
The rosary survives.
Passed down through Elena’s family for generations, it eventually reaches Loretto, a troubled young woman living in Salado, Texas.
After a relationship with her boyfriend, Loretto becomes terrified that she may be pregnant. At the same time, she has been chosen to play Ophelia in her school’s production of Shakespeare’s Hamlet. As her fears grow, she becomes increasingly fascinated with Ophelia—and with Ophelia’s death by drowning.
Loretto’s worried mother turns to her physician, Dr. MacArthur Donne, for help.
MacArthur soon realizes that something is terribly wrong.
With Jack Robbie at his side—and Duchess, Jack’s black Labrador retriever, along for the adventure—MacArthur travels to Salado. A mysterious message must be understood, a young woman must be found, and Salado Creek is rising.
What does Loretto intend to do?
What does the old rosary have to do with it?
