Book Overview

Matters of succession lead to attempted murder in the latest of Greeley's popular mysteries. Archbishop Malachi Nolan has designs on the Diocese of Chicago despite the fact the Most Reverend Blackwood Ryan, himself recently appointed an archbishop, is currently in line for the post. Assigned to keep watch on his rival, Blackie travels to the Nolan family estate in Grand Banks, where he soon finds himself immersed in an entirely different dynastic struggle. Spike Nolan, founder of Aviation Electronics, isn't even dead yet, but his children, grandchildren, and their respective spouses are already feuding over who will inherit control of the multimillion-dollar company. The only family member who doesn't have a stake in the quarrel is the clerical Malachi . . . so why is he the one targeted by an unknown killer? To get to the bottom of the mystery, Blackie will have to sort through the tangled family dynamics of this highly dysfunctional clan, as well as figure how out his fellow archbishop was nearly stung to death by hornets inside a locked room

Blackie Ryan Fan

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago

I have read all his series, Andrew Greeley is truly an excellent writer in fiction and non fiction. This book is no exception. I am anticipating reading the newest one. I would suggest this book to anyone who loves mysteries and a little humor along the way. Blackie is differently superb at locked door mysteries.

A Great Grand Beach Blackie Ryan Mystery!

A fast paced mystery that held my interest from beginning to end. I love to read the Grand Beach mysteries because I spent some summers in my youth in the Duneland Beach/Michigan City Area.
