Holy Oil: A Father Hardy Alaska Mystery, Book 3 [Soft Cover ]

It's a letter from a dead man! It comes in a plain envelope with six cents postage but it just might shatter Father Hardy's very existence. It's 1956 and he's the priest in a small town in the Alaska Territory, where the winter temperature on a good day, averages minus thirty-five. But things heat up fast when an Eskimo statesman is murdered, when valuable oil leases go missing, and someone is squeezing Hardy's best friend Andy, trying to get him beat up, jailed, or worse. And then there's rising-star politician, Edward Two Deer, with his sights set on statehood, on being governor ...and on Evie. What happens to someone who'll stand in his way? With Hardy's life at risk, his friends and his true love in real danger, how high will he climb, how far will he jump? Does he even have a prayer?
