Publisher's Synopsis
All is quiet in small-town Illinois. Father Bailey is mixing another martini. Father Alphonso is on the phone from the Vatican. Special envoy Christian Mannix is nowhere in sight. Deacon Furner is lurking in the church basement. Detective Rugger is scowling in a professional manner. Father Vincent is dead at the altar. One Dead Priest is illustrated with thirty-six striking graphics done by Spanish artist Enric Simon, whose steely comic book style adds much to the story's atmosphere.
