In The Dead Hand of the Living, Father Ignatius Lacroix, S.J., returns in the fourth Mighty Monk Mystery, drawn reluctantly from his study to Stonehill College for a theology symposium on faith, justice, and the common good. He expects lectures, arguments, tea, and the ordinary tedium of academic life. Instead, within thirty-six hours, Father Edmund Pruitt, the Dean of Theology, is found dead in the rare books room—apparently of cardiac arrest.
But Lacroix notices what others overlook: a rinsed cup, a teapot left untouched, conflicting entry records, and the uneasy silence surrounding a forty-million-dollar bequest. The gift that promises to transform the college may also be rooted in hidden suffering, institutional self-protection, and a past that refuses to remain buried.
As Stonehill closes ranks, Lacroix must follow the faint trail left by a dead man who wanted to speak before time ran out. What begins as a campus tragedy becomes a moral reckoning over justice, mercy, loyalty, and complicity. The dead hand of the past still reaches into the present—and Lacroix must discover who is willing to kill to keep it there.
