Canon Bang-bang - Tapa dura

Sinopsis

The Church has not paid too much attention to Paul Vincent Herlihy, private person. When he was the Reverend Father Herlihy, he was 'silenced' and disgraced for 'helping' some of the aged members of his flock to pass from this life. For a long time now he has been left alone at Dory's Jetty, the curious little riverside estate which is almost a village in itself. But suddenly things have changed. For Mrs Lucy Dory-Catchpole has left the entire estate to Herlihy. And London's developing Dockland, with all its fabulous wealth, is fast approaching the Jetty, making the land worth millions. Now Father Jim Kilmartin has been given the job of bringing it back into the fold of the Church... by whatever means are necessary. But Dory's Jetty is not just Herlihy's preserve; it is peopled by a rich cast of characters and haunted by the ghosts of a terrible past, all of whom have their part to play. CANON BANG BANG is J.M.O'Neill's third novel, and also his most imaginative, assured, comic and moving to date.
