Perfect for fans of M C Beaton and Alexander McCall Smith.Tytti Vertainen has a new job as Editor of the Tapiolinna Times, but before she can unpack her pot plant, an islander comes to her in distress. A mysterious spiritual healer has arrived on the island and started to visit cancer patients. Rumour has it, she's been called there by a saint in a vision to heal the sick. But the patients have started to die and possibly not of natural causes.

When the spiritual healer refuses to talk, Tytti's lie detector begins to yo-yo. Who is this woman and what does she really want? This is no normal case and Tytti will be forced to be as cunning as her adversary in order to find out what the hell is going on.
