Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Bishop Blackie Ryan is never deterred by a mystery, especially when members of his Chicago parish are affected. The popular hero of Happy Are the Meek, Ryan must try to save a troubled family and prevent murder in this engrossing outing. When young Candi Cain comes to him for help, Blackie Ryan had no idea he'd not only have to deal with her large and divisive family but with a ghost as well. This ghost is believed to be Mary Anne Haggerty, who had disappeared almost 50 years earlier after attending the prom with Bart Cain, Candi's father. Three attempts are made on Bart's life, each followed by a call from a mysterious woman. Candi and her new stepmother, Julia, believe the ghost is to blame, but the police and Ryan are not so sure. Bart Cain is multimillionaire with a new, young wife-a situation that unsettles the heirs. It's up to Blackie Ryan to investigate who has the most at stake as he faces two mysteries in one. In a crowd of sleuthing Catholic clerics, Ryan is still a most unlikely and unforgettable hero and his creator is a droll scribe.

From Booklist
Greeley's clerical criminologist solves another whodunit while saving both the life and the soul of a troubled parishioner. Despite his mild demeanor and unobtrusive appearance, Bishop Blackie Ryan, clergyman, scholar, and sleuth, possesses the uncanny ability to unravel complex patterns of evil. When Bart Cain, a wealthy and politically connected commodities broker with a sheaf of enemies and disgruntled relatives, begins receiving a series of threatening anonymous phone calls, his young wife and teenage daughter band together in order to protect him. With the able assistance of Bishop Blackie, Julia and Candi Cain attempt to decipher a 40-year-old puzzle involving the inexplicable disappearance of 17-year-old Bart's prom date. A diverting mystery featuring the ever-appealing Blackie Ryan. Margaret Flanagan
