Till Death
by William X. Kienzle
A special bond links a group of four people together - Father Rick Casserly, gorgeous former nun Dora Ricardo, defrocked priest Jerry Anderson, and compassinate school principal Lil Niedermier, but when this bond is shattered by murder, only Father Koesler is qualified to discover the startling truth.

Seville Communion
by Arturo Perez-Reverte
A hacker cracks Vatican security and sends an urgent plea directly to the Pope: Save Our Lady of the Tears. The crumbling Baroque church, located in the heart of Seville, is slated for demolition, and two of its defenders have recently died. Accidents - or murders? The Vatican promptly dispatches Father Lorenzo Quart, their worldly and enormously attractive emissary, to investigate the situation and track down the hacker, known to the Vatican only as Vespers. Father Quart's search for Vespers leads him to Father Priamo Ferro, the coarse and zealous parish priest, who has the full devotion of his small flock; Sister Gris Marsala, a former nun from California who is determined to restore the church; Pencho Gavira, the ambitious young vice-chairman of the Cartujano Bank; his estranged wife, Macarena, a perfect Andalusian beauty whose aristocratic family is closely linked to the church's history; Macarena's mother, the Duchess of El Nuevo Extremo, an elegant insomniac with a taste for Coca-Cola; and Honorato Bonafe, a tabloid reporter bent on getting the dirt on everyone. Father Quart is slowly seduced by the splendor of Seville - and the beauty of Macarena. As time runs out on the church, he is caught between powerful developers who have a stake in Our Lady of the Tears and his loyalty to the Vatican and his own vows.
Sudden Death
by William X. Kienzle
Hard-hitting, hard-running, and, most of all, hard-hearted, Hank "The Hun" Hunsinger, superstar tight end for the Pontiac Cougars, is murdered by ingenious and macabre means in his own shower. There's no shortage of suspects -- from the canny club owner to a miffed mistress to a humble rookie. Himself a religious football fan, Father Koesler is thrust from the stands to the center of a mystery that shrouds the spirited God Squad, the Cougars' Bible study group with a disturbingly freewheeling way with Scriptures. The ferreting Father unearths a secret every bit as astonishing as a winning eighty-yard touchdown pass with three seconds to go....
Triple Pursuit
by Ralph McInerny
In his many years of service to the St. Hilary's congregation, Father Dowling has often been called upon to help untangle intricate problems among the faithful. This time, a young woman who occasionally attended mass at St. Hilary's has been killed in a car accident; struck down in the road by speeding traffic. Conflicting reports from many eyewitnesses has Detective Phil Keegen, Father Dowling's good friend, wondering if it really was an accident or perhaps something more sinister. The investigation into her death twists and turns and finally returns to the parish itself; is someone among the flock a vicious murderer? In the meantime, the old church schoolhouse has been turned into a senior center, and newly social retirees are starting to come out of the woodwork. Chaos erupts in the usually quiet parish; one woman in particular seems to be the catalyst for much controversy - she's attracted multiple suitors, and before long the amorous old men come to blows. Unfortunately, the confrontation between the two men doesn't end with just one fight. This retired professor and ex-disc jockey are thrown together once again over the attentions of a sultry younger woman - and the repercussions are deadly. It's up to Father Dowling to use his expert ear and his undeniable genius for understanding his congregation to solve the ominous puzzle that threatens to permanently disrupt the peaceful parish.
Happy Are Those Who Mourn
by Andrew M. Greeley
