'The Bloody Rosary'
by Sable Jak

. . .

For generations
the rosary of Father Carlo of Milan has been hidden
by members of the DeContini family.  Cursed in the 16th Century
by a dying young woman - the person Father Carlo gave
his life in defending - the rosary oozes blood
when handled by a DeContini.

Now, in 1996 Seattle, the carved,
ivory rosary has become separated from the DeContinis
and found its way into the hands of Sebastian Nardine, a man
with no particular religious allegiance or any wish to be caught in
a fight for the canonization of a good man.  For that's what
the Holy See wishes to do for Father Carlo,
make him a saint.

The DeContini family wants the rosary back.
It proves Father Carlo died at the hands of the first Count DeContini.
 In the possession of the wrong people it could mean the religious
and political downfall of the family in Italy.

They'll do anything to get it back.

A private collector of religious artifacts wants it.
For no other reason than simple greed.  He's hired two
ruthless art thieves to get it.

And Bishop Helman wants it.
A bastard relation to the DeContinis, he's always groveled at the feet
of the great family.  This is his chance to settle the score.

Sebastian finds himself drawn into
the four pronged grab for the artifact.  Helping him is an
honest parish priest, a novice nun - fresh from a life on the street
s - and a couple of well-meaning truck drivers.  Getting the rosary
to its proper owner may need
a miracle or two.

Comments

Script is listed as Noir,
but would make a good Movie of the Week.
