Mystery Amateur Sleuth
Father Dowling is a dedicated parish priest who happens to
have a knack for unraveling the mysteries of the real
world as well as those of heaven, but the latest puzzle to
catch his attention---the disappearance of Wallace
Flanagan---doesn’t seem to be a mystery so much as a dirty
little secret. By all appearances, Flanagan, the heir to a
lucrative concrete business, skipped town with his
mistress more than ten years ago, although no one talks
about that out of respect for his abandoned wife. But
appearances go right out the window when his mangled---and
recently live---body is found wedged into one of his
father’s cement mixers.
If Flanagan’s unexpected return and immediate death aren’t
enough to shake a few skeletons from their closets,
childhood friends and lifelong enemies have started
trickling home to Fox River, Indiana, a town outside of
Chicago. All of them had a stake in his disappearance, but
which one would murder a man who was already all but dead?
And would kill again to keep a dead man’s secrets? A collision between the past and present dislodges some
hard and hidden truths that Father Dowling must uncover if
he’s going to catch a killer in Ralph McInerny’s The
Widow’s Mate, an absorbing and suspenseful mystery that is
sure to please Father Dowling’s many fans.
