The bishop in the old neighborhood : a Blackie Ryan story
(Book)

"A Tom Doherty Associates book."

Three dead bodies have been left in the sanctuary of St. Lucy's, stripped, mutilated, and shot through the head. Bishop "Blackie" Ryan investigates whether the murders are a warning to those who would revitalize the neighborhood---or to St. Lucy's monsignor, who has made a few enemies of his own. To solve the mystery, and to banish the evil gathering over the community, Blackie will need an unexpected assist from his own long-dead father, as well as the help of Declan O'Donnell, a savvy young cop with a touch of the second sight, and of Camilla Datillo, a radiant assistant state's attorney of Sicilian origins.
