Over a hundred years ago, a frail nun who lived in a remote Michigan village was murdered and buried in a shallow grave, in the very basement of the holy grounds where she lived and worshipped. What was uncovered during the subsequent trials spoke of lies, sexual trysts by those holding holy office and the attempt to spare the Catholic Church embarrassment, even if it meant covering up a murder.
