In the latest in the _USA Today_ bestselling, award-winning, critically acclaimed series, **New Orleans punk rock nun-detective Sister Holiday plunges into a "hellish underworld of drug trafficking, addiction, and her own dark past in a journey that is both riveting and sacred." (Ana Reyes, _New York Times_ bestselling author of _The House in the Pines_)**

**"_Divine Ruin_ is fearlessly inspired." (Gillian Flynn)**

It's a steamy, restless end of the school year in New Orleans. Sister Holiday is finishing her music classes and preparing for her permanent vow ceremony, a pivotal moment in her journey of faith. But when one of her favorite students is found dead of a fentanyl overdose, Sister Holiday and her partner-in-PI, Magnolia Riveaux, are determined to track down the drug dealers. As students continue to fall prey tothis sinister drug, Sister Holiday becomes more desperate to stop the epidemic--while facing her own past with addiction, a demon that is never too far.

With Douaihy's signature mix of grit, heart, and faith, _Divine Ruin_ tests the limits of Sister Holiday's devotion in her darkest and most shocking case yet.
