Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enjoy this Small-Town Murder Mystery Featuring A Unique Sleuthing Couple It’s an eventful October for Father Tom and Helen. It begins with the wedding of Father Tom’s mother Nola to her fiance, former strip club owner Stu Landry. The two septuagenarian newlyweds have no sooner embarked on their honeymoon than Saint Clare’s Parish plays host to the Cardinal Archbishop of Baltimore Walter Knowland, making his periodic visit. It should be a welcome homecoming for the Cardinal, who spent his high school years in Myerton. But there’s a cloud hovering over the visit. A special state grand jury issued a report, documenting decades of sexual abuse in the Archdiocese. While the report makes clear that the Archdiocese under Cardinal Knowland has mended its ways, he’s bearing the brunt of the criticism. He’s also received death threats. With this in mind, Helen assigns her newest officer Gwen Tolson–who also happens to be the Cardinal’s granddaughter–to his security detail. During a tour of the Unclaimed Blessings Thrift Store, a large urn falls from a loft, narrowly missing the Cardinal and injuring Gwen. That combined with the firebombing of the Archbishop’s Residence in Baltimore convinces Helen that he’s in danger. She begins to hunt for the person responsible. But then an elderly volunteer at the thrift store, Eliza Ross, is murdered. At first it looks like a robbery gone wrong. But it’s soon clear to Helen that someone staged the scene to make it look like a robbery. This raises two questions: who’d want to kill her, and why? In the midst of all this, Gladys goes into labor early . . . and one of the triplets may not make it . . .

Download or read book Pope Francis written by Paul Vallely and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2013-08-01 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From his first appearance on a Vatican balcony Pope Francis proved himself a Pope of Surprises. With a series of potent gestures, history's first Jesuit pope declared a mission to restore authenticity and integrity to a Catholic Church bedevilled by sex abuse and secrecy, intrigue and in-fighting, ambition and arrogance. He declared it should be 'a poor Church, for the poor'. But there is a hidden past to this modest man with the winning smile. Jorge Mario Bergoglio was previously a bitterly divisive figure. His decade as leader of Argentina's Jesuits left the religious order deeply split. And his behaviour during Argentina's Dirty War, when military death squads snatched innocent people from the streets, raised serious questions – on which this book casts new light. Yet something dramatic then happened to Jorge Mario Bergoglio. He underwent an extraordinary transformation. After a time of exile he re-emerged having turned from a conservative authoritarian into a humble friend of the poor – and became Bishop of the Slums, making enemies among Argentina's political classes in the process. For Pope Francis – Untying the Knots, Paul Vallely travelled to Argentina and Rome to meet Bergoglio's intimates over the last four decades. His book charts a remarkable journey. It reveals what changed the man who was to become Pope Francis – from a reactionary into the revolutionary who is unnerving Rome's clerical careerists with the extent of his behind-the-scenes changes. In this perceptive portrait Paul Vallely offers both new evidence and penetrating insights into the kind of pope Francis could become.
