Blind Faith by Alicia Beckman is an interesting mystery with layers of secrets to uncover! Lindsay Keller became disillusioned with her profession as a prosecutor after a case left her feeling disappointed and upset. She decided to switch over to business law dealing with real estate and historical preservation projects. She receives a call one day from an acquaintance who tells her she has found a wallet that had been in storage for years and asks what she should do with it. When Lindsay learns the identity of the wallet owner, she offers to take it to the police station. Lindsey feels a personal connection to discover how the wallet of her friend and mentor, Father Michael Leary, came to be hidden in a storage bin for so many years. The crime of the priest's murder was still unsolved after all these years. Lindsey opens the wallet and sees the picture of a girl inside. She thinks she may know the girl and decides to keep the picture and investigate on her own who would have killed the kindly priest. She takes the wallet to leave with Detective Brian Donovan. The detective's interest in solving this case becomes his priority.
Soon there are more questions to answer and links that connect the fate of the priest with other families in the community. The story weaves memories of people who misunderstood things they observed nearly twenty years ago. The story is complex and learning the truth about what happened in the past is Lindsey's goal of finding justice.
