A detective hunts for a missing archbishop in Northern Ireland who may a victim of violence—or an instigator of it . . . Oregon detective and former muckraking journalist Max Blake&’s discovery of a long-dreaded postcard from Ireland in his mailbox is the catalyst that touches off a cross-continent search for his fiancée&’s favorite uncle. The Rev. Sean &“Jack&” O&’Lennox, the archbishop of St. Patrick&’s Roman Catholic Cathedral in Armagh, Northern Ireland, is missing, and the postcard—a pre-arranged signal—is his apparent cry for help. Max is prepared to do everything in his considerable power to help Caeli Brown, his longtime partner in the Blake & Brown Detective Agency and soon-to-be wife. But she slips off to Ireland without him, and he is left with a double quandary: finding Caeli, and then determining the fate of the archbishop, a complicated man who believes that British-held Ulster should be returned to the Irish Republic by any means necessary . . .
