"The venerable walls of Canterbury Cathedral structure the offbeat plot, foreign intrigue, lively characters, surprising twists and ironic wit of Anthony's (The Becket Factor) rich, labyrinthine mystery. Richard Harrison, a former intelligence major trying to save his marriage to wise, wheelchair-bound Winnie, has retired to the "dull decencies" of diocesan life, entrusted with repairs. He has returned from a summer in Italy to find a tactless new archdeacon hell-bent on cutting costs and to learn that an old Jewish comrade from de-Nazification days in Berlin tried to visit him a month ago.

Description:
Kansas City: MO: Andrews McMeel Pub, 1987. Kienzle's reputation has grown with the success of eight bestsellers about Detroit priest Father Koesler. Catalyst in the ninth is the sudden death of a vicious critic, Ridley Groendal. His longtime homosexual lover, Peter Harison, testifies that Groendal died after a huge dinner, which taxed his weak heart, but Koesler suspects murder. He questions several people who grew up with him and the dead man, including their former mates at the seminary where Groendal abruptly gave up studying for the priesthood. Koesler's investigation discloses the motives for the critic's malicious attacks on innocent victims, whom he blamed for his own failures. As the priest talks to men and women whose lives and careers Groendal had ruined, the shocks proliferate. The strongest occurs in the final, unforeseen disclosure. Kienzle's ninth may be hailed as his most complex and finest mystery. First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine. Book.

"Countess Alys of Tonnerre, victim of a brutal beating, is barely alive when her husband Raynald brings her to the Abbess Heloise at the convent of the Paraclete in medieval France. Young Catherine LeVendeur, who helps care for Alys, is disturbed by scars that attest to the woman's prior mistreatment. Upon the Countess's death, the Paraclete inherits a small piece of unimpressive land, which sets off a furor: Raynald claims the convent stole the property, and the prior of a nearby monastery makes a handsome offer for it. Catherine maintains her intense curiosity about Alys's unhappy end even through the arrival of her betrothed, Edgar of Wedderlie, with Peter Abelard; after Catherine and Edgar's wedding, the pair travel to Troyes and, at Heloise's request, search for information on the…

Burnishing the reputation he has earned with The Rosary Murders , Kienzle again sets series hero Father Koesler among criminals in Detroit. The priest visits a dark, cheerless cloister where four monks draw the media and swarms of citizens when one of the friars reputedly works a miraculous cure. Although skeptical, homicide detective "Zoo" Tully takes his ailing lover to the cloister and the monk heals her instantly. There is no perceived connection between the murder of an old bum, a case assigned to Tully, nor to the attempted murder of Koesler's friend, reporter Pat Lennon, as she writes about the secretive community. But Koesler, versed in Catholic rituals and wise to the ways of con artists, performs wonders of his own. 312 pages. First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine. Book.

Theyd been talking about Linnie Glynn Cane since 1925, about the pecan tree where she was found hanging, and how her ghost never came to rest. No sooner do Gale and her four-year-old, Katie Pru, arrive in town than tragedy strikes again. Martin Cane, a straitlaced, religious man and host of the annual Southern Gospel Singing and Barbecue, turns up dead--killed by a rifle blast--in the midst of the festivities.

"Retired FBI agent Gregor Demarkian, last seen in Haddam's Halloween mystery, Quoth the Raven , takes on a new and engrossing murder case in time for St. Patrick's Day. Duty in the form of an anxious John Cardinal O'Bannion beckons Demarkian to Maryville, N.Y., where aspiring nun Brigit Ann Reilly has been found dead during a furious rainstorm, her corpse covered with water moccasins. Demarkian's expertise with poison is put to use as he determines that Brigit's death was caused by hemlock rather than snakebite and that the snakes were merely snuggling up to her body for warmth; however, he is perplexed because water moccasins are not indigenous to the North. Suspicion falls upon the owners of local menageries--Sam Harrigan, an actor who escapes media attention by living in Maryville,…
