About Stained Glass

<p>Tough times and the unsolved murders of anyone with ties to the Deveres---a family of wealthy parish patrons---back Father Dowling up against a wall in his struggle to save his church from the chopping block.<br></p><p>With too many churches and not enough people to fill them, the Archdiocese has to make some cuts, and many of them, including the proposed closing of St. Hilary’s, are dangerously close to the bone. Father Dowling rushes to drum up support from church officials and parishioners, including the Deveres, who don’t want to see the stained glass windows they donated go anywhere other than the church they were meant for, but they can hardly be of help when those closest to them start turning up dead.<br></p><p>Church politics, long-kept family secrets, and a determined killer come together to put St. Hilary’s---a church that countless characters and devoted readers have come to love---and its parishioners in peril in <em>Stained Glass</em>, the latest in Ralph McInerny’s treasured mystery series.</p>From Publishers Weekly<p>Isolated by demographic changes, St. Hilary's of Fox River, Ill., struggles for its very survival in McInerny's timely 28th novel to feature Father Dowling (after 2008's <em>Ash Wednesday</em>). When the archdiocese decides to close half a dozen parishes, including Father Dowling's, the congregation of St. Hilary's joins the priest in a campaign to prevent the action. Meanwhile, the discovery of a nude female body hanging from the cross strut of a garage door points to a ritual killing. More murders follow. The police, local reporters and Father Dowling get on a trail that comes dangerously close to the Devere family, longtime church benefactors who donated the magnificent Menotti stained-glass windows to St. Hilary's. The outcome will surprise even the most astute reader. Series fans will enjoy catching up with old friends, while everyone will find much to savor in the fresh and challenging plot. <em>(Oct.)</em> <br>Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

Readers who long for a down-to-earth story of ordinary people and events will be well rewarded.”*“This series continues to deliver, with a fascinating protagonist, intelligent plotting, and dry humor.”*“Father Dowling is not the average priest. . . .  He has been through the mill himself, is tough, yet has compassion.”*“You don’t have to go to church to worship mystery lovers’ esteemed Father Dowling.”“Mystery at its bloodless, cerebral best . . . Dowling is the perfect father confessor, dealing with moral dilemmas and the weakness of man with compassion and understanding.”</br></br></br></br>
