The Bishop At The Lake, by Andrew M. Greeley

I've discovered a new author that I like a lot. His topics are the ones that make up my books - authentic faith, abusive clergy, real life stories complicated by the church. His books are fiction - murder mystery genre, almost- because people don't always actually die. The protagonist is an Irish-American Chicago bishop who goes by the nickname, Blackie. The author, Greeley, is a Roman Catholic priest whose website is pastoral as much as it is promotional. So far I've read two of his books: The Bishop at the Lake, and The Bishop in the Old Neighborhood. I'll read the rest soon.
