Assigned to keep watch on his rival, Blackie travels to the Nolan family estate in Grand Banks, where he soon finds himself immersed in an entirely different dynastic struggle. Spike Nolan, founder of Aviation Electronics, isn't even dead yet, but his children, grandchildren, and their respective spouses are already feuding over who will inherit control of the multimillion-dollar company. The only family member who doesn't have a stake in the quarrel is the clerical Malachi...so why is he the one targeted by an unknown killer? To get to the bottom of the mystery, Blackie will have to sort through the tangled family dynamics of this highly dysfunctional clan, as well as figure how out his fellow archbishop was nearly stung to death by hornets inside a locked room!","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49752901157137,"sku":"CIN0765315890G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50033641423121,"sku":"GOR010235707","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":51839530205457,"sku":"CIN0765315890A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52504386273553,"sku":"CIN0765315890VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0765315890.jpg?v=1751106674"},{"product_id":"bishop-and-the-beggar-girl-of-st-germain-book-andrew-m-greeley-9780812575972","title":"The Bishop and the Beggar Girl of St.Germain","description":"The Cardinal Archbishop of Chicago, Sean Cronin, orders our hero to Paris to find a missing priest and TV superstar with his usual \"See to it, Blackie\".
