Synopsis
Reporter "Mitch" Mitchell and his photographer buddy, Alan Jeffery, are sent to investigate a mysterious incident at the Unitarian Universalist Church in little Afton, Minnesota. One of the members of the board of directors is dead, one is in critical condition, some are ailing and some appear unharmed. After investigating the scene, Mitch and Al learn three things: poisoned coffee appears to be the murder weapon, the church is a "welcoming congregation" (which accepts gay members), and the murder victim was gay. Is this a hate crime, or something entirely unexpected? Despite the pious setting, there seems to be plenty of hate -- and opportunity to kill -- to go around. Among the suspects are the coffee-making minister, a pharmacist, a chemist, and some of the recovered victims. In a desperate move to catch the murderer, Al sets a trap. But will the coffee killer take the bait?
