Más información sobre el libro

A desperate mother, her missing child, and a stolen chalice set the stage for a gripping Christmas tale. In this suspenseful narrative, beloved characters Alvirah, a lottery winner turned amateur sleuth, and her husband Willy, navigate a mystery that tests Alvirah's deductive skills and Willy's common sense. The story opens with a young woman leaving her newborn on a church rectory doorstep while a man inside steals a precious chalice adorned with a diamond. Both the baby and the chalice vanish without a trace. Fast forward seven years, just before Christmas, and Alvirah and Willy are helping Willy's sister Cordelia, a nun who runs a thrift shop and after-school shelter for local children, prepare for a Christmas pageant. The shelter's future is in jeopardy as the city condemns the building, and plans to relocate to a nearby brownstone are complicated when it is revealed that the property has been willed to a young couple living there. Alvirah suspects the couple are con artists and embarks on a quest to uncover the truth, intertwining the fates of the missing child and the stolen chalice. This tale promises to be a delightful Christmas gift for readers.
