Taking leave of his usual Chicago haunts, Archbishop John Blackwood Ryan travels to the south of Spain to attend a conference, but a local cardinal has a far more critical assignment for the wily archbishop.
The threat of violence hangs ominously over a family of wealthy Spanish aristocrats. Dona Teresa, a pious widow whose beauty unsettles even Blackie, finds herself beset by avaricious relatives determined to control her life and fortune. With three generations of passionate nobility sharing the same roof, it seems only a matter of time before pride, greed and lust will lead to bloodshed.
But while the archbishop attempts to forestall a modern-day Spanish tragedy, dramatic events back in Chicago conspire to change his life forever…

I enjoyed the book. Blackie is at it again in yet another non-Chicago environment. It is a fun read.
Reviewer: Penelope J
I've always loved reading about Bishop Blackie and his mysteries and this one did not disappoint. It's a great "who dun it" that everyone will enjoy. Cheers to Father Greeley!
Reviewer: Gabriela C
I am very sorry but it doesn't live up to Father Greeley usual wonderful books. To much religious language and not enough of good old Bishop and his friends and family in Chicago. For a nonchatholic it was hard to follow.
Come back home a write about the bishop's problems and fun in this country.
