Bishop as Pawn

"Bishop as Pawn" is the 3rd Father Dowling mystery by Ralph McInerny. Billy Murkin appears at the St. Hillary's rectory in Fox River, Illinois. He is the husband of Marie Murkin, the rectory's housekeeper, even though she hasn't seen him in 15 years. Later that night he is found dead of a gunshot wound in the rectory. It becomes apparent to Father Dowling and his friend Phil Keegan, captain of the Fox River Police Department, that Murkin had been living in Fox River all along under the name of James Dunbar. Then, Bishop Arthur Rooney is kidnapped from the rectory where he is staying on church business. Father Dowling wonders if he may have been the target of both crimes since they both happened at the rectory. Are the murder of Billy Murkin and the kidnapping of the Bishop related? Father Dowling works with Phil Keegan in solving the crimes. As always in this series, all loose ends are tied up. "Bishop as Pawn" is a good read.
