Synopsis
Anne Reilly is beautiful, successful ... and terribly afraid. Demons from her past have come back to haunt her as her Chicago art gallery exhibits a notorious mad priest's paintings of obsession and horror. Suddenly Anne finds herself slipping into a hell she cannot escape, unable to free herself from a long-hidden secret or give herself to the fulfilling love of the man she so desperately needs. Father Blackie Ryan and other "angels" of the faith now join in her struggle against the mystery that threatens her life and her sanity --- against the terror of things seen through a glass darkly, and feelings that lie closest to the heart.

From Publishers Weekly
The Irish, Dr. Johnson said, are a very fair racethey never speak well of one another. Greeley (The Cardinal Sins, Virgin and Martyr) lays into the Irish clergy, cops and politicians with great gusto in his best book yet. Ann Reilly is a 50-ish art gallery owner, beautiful, competent and decent. After two disastrous marriages, she falls in love with Mike Casey, a top Chicago cop and former schoolmate. But Anne's lifelong Catholicism riddles her with guilt and she's loath to marry again. An exhibit of Breughel-like paintings by a dead mad priest begins to take on fiendish vividness and Anne's life and sanity are in peril. Casey's cousin, the urbane Cathedral rector, Father "Blackie" Ryan, joins with his psychiatrist sister to fight Anne's demons. Some of Greeley's horror effects aren't quite in Stephen King's league, and Anne's guilt seems a bit unlikely, but her ongoing "autobiography" is a vivid picture of a good woman struggling to come to terms with her family and an old-fashioned Catholicism that is stunning in its repression. Greeley's zestful irreverence is a delight as he gleefully bashes Popes, bishops, cops, pols and professors, most of them Irish. 125,000 first printing; $150,000 ad/promo; author tour. February 10

She becomes obsessed with her uncle, Danny Farrell, who has always been a black sheep of sorts in the family. Danny is believed to have died in an airplane flying over china while working for the CIA. Roger's mother, Brigid, is a powerful widow with a lot of dirty secrets. The family is an example of an Irish Catholic family's ascent into the upper middle class, perhaps even the upper class, after a few generations, reflecting a common theme of sociologist Greeley. However, aside from Danny, there have been other mysterious deaths in this family, and Noelle courageously probes this dark side of her ancestry, leading to the truth about who she really is. . .See photos for additional content. . .

Harv was a crook, because it was in his nature. He was a free and wealthy man because he was a master of blackmail and bribery; because he was ruthless against those who threatened him. Red Kane was a cynical, crusading columnist- who'd been publicly after Gunther for a long time. But he never got quite close enough. And then, out of the blue, Red got the lead he'd needed. A retired madam hiding out in the jungles of Brazil was suddenly demanding justice for a murdered girl, a child prostitute who had died at the hands of Harv Gunther. Overnight, Red Kane was to be transformed from a hard-drinking, disappointed man with enough problems in his life to keep him drinking for the next fifty years, to the hammer of God. But even with God behind him, Red Kane would have to decide whether getting Harv Gunther was worth the life of his own wife. . .See photos for additional content. . . Seller Inventory # 36630
