At the base of the Virginian Blue Ridge Mountains there seems to be a religious miracle: the statue of the Virgin Mary at the monastic order of Mount Carmel is crying blood.  While Harry Haristeen and her pets Mrs. Murphy, Pewter, and Tee Tucker are all skeptical, no one could have foreseen that the miracle would be followed by murder.  One of the monks is murdered but no one believed it at first, as Brother Thomas was eighty-two at the time of his death.  But with Harry's insistence, the corpse is exhumed to revel a casket weighted down with bags, not a body.  Another murder occurs and Harry keeps wondering: could the two killings be connected?  Does it have to do with the miracle at Mount Carmel?  What is happening with those seemingly benevolent monks?
