Features: DVD
For more than half her life, Sister Edward Frances had a serene, sheltered existence at St. Stephen's convent. But when the naive young woman chooses to reenter the world as Christine Bennett, she finds herself the target of a public uproar as she tries to solve a horrific 30-year-old homicide.Orphaned at the age of 13, Christine was taken under the wing of Mother Joseph. But her only blood relation is a mentally disabled cousin who lives at a local care facility. Intrigued by her cousin's new friend, another resident at Greenwillow, Christine discovers that the man--James Talley--is a prodigious savant, separated from his twin brother for more than 30 years after both were accused of murdering their mother as young boys. Convinced that James and Edward are innocent, the feisty former nun goes on a quest to clear their names and reunite them. But despite the support of Mother Joseph--and the more-than-professional interest of local Detective Jack Brown, Christine's mission of mercy is met with more than a few obstacles--including the killer!
Editor's Note
The Hallmark Channel's made-for-TV movie MURDER WITHOUT CONVICTION is an atmospheric thriller based on the first of Lee Harris's Christine Bennet mystery novels, THE GOOD FRIDAY MURDER. Megan Ward stars as Harris's eponymous heroine, a former nun who has abandoned her religious vocation in favor of a secular career as a crime-solving detective. In her first case, Christine investigates the 30-year-old mystery surrounding two autistic twins, James and Edward Talley (both played by David Proval), accused of murdering their mother on Good Friday, 1974.
