Andrew M. Greeley
Andrew M. Greeley's Blackie Ryan stories are reviewed and explicated in this study of the author's novels featuring the delightful and leprechaun like detective. The book surveys detective fiction in which the unique, irrestible, and sometimes irrepressible Blackie Ryan, who is sometimes, but not always, a persona for the author, appears.

The book includes a "Foreword" written by Andrew M. Greeley, world renowned sociologist, priest, and Professor of Social Science at the university of Chicago.

God is intervening to begin a new age of incredible generosity ... great is the payoff ..." And it has been the very simplicity of Jesus' message that has been ignored by theologians and scholars through the ages.
