The Cat's Meow

It's having the graveyard at old St. Pat's Church sold and slated to become a gas station...and Father Mulrooney's recently deceased cat raising the old priest's hairs with blood-curdling howls from the grave...and signs of satan worship turning up on the sanctuary floor that get Democratic Precinct Captain Jimmy Flannery up off his duff in the 27th Ward and over to St. Pat's to take a look-see. To be telling the truth, Flannery doesn't consider any of these problems a matter of life and death...until he stumbles upon a corpse. Someone has killed poor old Father Mulrooney, and Flannery suspects the motive lies in the world of the living - at the bottom of land deals, buried secrets, and sudden death. So much for ghostly cats and devilish doings!
