A Tom and Stanley Mystery Does murder follow Tom and Stanley around, or do they follow the murders? After a hospital stay, Stanley is invited by Father Brighton to convalesce at St. Marywood, an isolated monastery on the ocean cliffs of Big Sur. Upon arrival, Stanley finds Father Brighton dead. The order''s doctor writes it up as a death by natural causes, but those seem to be quite prevalent at the monastery. The recent demise of a young brother who fell from the cliffs is described as an accident, but Stanley''s nose is twitching. Plus the order''s finances have taken a sudden, mysterious turn for the better. Is something rotten at St. Marywood? Stanley and Tom can''t resist digging around, even if it means testing their tumultuous relationship against a gaggle of handsome, young, virginal, and-they are told-gay men.
