Father Brennan Burke'spatience is tested to the limit when a young woman announces to the world that the Virgin Mary has appeared to her in his churchyard, and hordes of pilgrims, souvenir hawkers, and reporters converge on the scene. But, as unwelcome as these guests may be, they pale in comparison to yet another aggravation in Father Burke's life, a controversial talk show host who clashes with Burke the minute he arrives in town.Events take a darker turn when a body is found at the apparition site, and the talk show host is picked up for the murder.There is enough aggravation to go around, as lawyer Monty Collins learns when he takes on the loud-mouthed TV man as a client.
