A minister who believes Jesus never lived. Murder by means of Japanese ritual suicide. An internet brothel empire. The Cool, Grey City of Love. What does it all mean? That is what private detective Justinia Wright and her brother and assistant, Harry, are hired to find out. To do so, they have to get the prime suspect off the hook, which ends up putting Tina in the crosshairs of her friend and lover, Lieutenant Cal Swenson of Homicide. And in the cold, wintry land of Minnesota Nice, Tina and Harry once again find out there are those who don’t play so nice after all. Those who’d rather see you dead than at the church lutefisk supper. But Jesus Never Wept takes Tina and Harry to places where nothing is as it seems and everything is topsy-turvy. And love does not conquer all.
