Book Description
Millions of Blackie Ryan fans will be thrilled with his return in this exciting novel of mystery and suspense. Bestselling novelist Andrew M. Greeley has captured the imagination of the mystery reading public with the improbable Bishop Blackie Ryan, who works for the aristocratic, haughty, sometimes arrogant but often slyly good humored Sean Cardinal Cronin, the Archbishop of Chicago. The Vatican has just assigned auxiliary Bishop Gus Quill to the Archdiocese of Chicago over the violent protests of Archbishop Sean Cronin, and the not so silent protests of Bishop Blackie. Bishop Quill is under the illusion, one might say delusion, that he has been sent from Rome to replace the good Cardinal when in fact Rome was dying to get rid of him because of his incompetence. Immediately on arriving in Chicago, he manages to disappear while riding the L Train and it is up to Blackie to find him. As the Cardinal says, "The Vatican does not like to lose bishops, even auxiliaries." And thus begins the search for the missing bishop who no one really wants to find. Of course, none of this is too much for the intrepid little Bishop Ryan. He faces these problems squarely and, with the kind of deductive mind reminiscent of G.K Chesterton's Father Brown, manages to find solutions to some of the most baffling mysteries he has ever encountered.

After their parents were killed, Jessie felt as if she were the only one her brother and sister could count on.

Jaredites: the Missing Civilization X
Author: Jim Hendleman
Publisher: Author House
ISBN: 1481733206
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 487
Book Description
This book covers the origin and archaeological development of selected categories of civilized elements identified as being Jaredite in origin. It is an attempt to elevate the Jaredite civilization into the light of day from the heretofore dark mists of history where science has forced it for the last 2,500 years. The Jaredite civilization spanned a possible 2,530 years, and its known achievements have far exceeded those of modern mans in many regards. In c. 2800 BC, the Jaredites built a pair of concrete superhighways over 2,700 miles, complete with paved exits and a secondary road network, nearly the entire length of the South American continent. Their civilization could answer the riddles of the Sphinx, the questions of who built the pyramids and why, the mystery and likely origin of UFOs, prove whether or not George Lucas had the only ET, detail what Noah brought aboard the ark besides three sons and their families, and provide an answer to the question posed to Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer by a student as to whether Alamogordos nuclear bomb in July 1945 was the first ever atomic bomb explosion in history. Many other possible but likely Jaredite achievements are incredibly fascinating and await only an honest archaeological effort to prove them. The historical facts exist; they are real and three-dimensional, but to date, standard classical science has relegated them to the dustbin of historys forgotten basement closet. Satan has made a tremendous effort since mankinds beginning to keep man blinded to the historical facts of our heritage, causing the deliberate destruction of millions of artifacts, scrolls, books, and whole libraries throughout the world to do so. This book is but a small effort to expose and make known a portion of mankinds previously hidden but rightful heritage.
