In the full-length mystery, Chant of Death, murder rears its ugly head amid struggles over the monks’ profits from a chart-topping Chant recording. As Malachi becomes accustomed to hearing the echoes and enduring the strains of a haunting Chant of Death, would he, a former secular outsider, be up to the challenge of clerical detective?
