註釋I really dig your gun-toting Pope.-Vince Kohler, author of the Eldon Larkin mysteries, Rainy North Woods and Raven's Widows. What are you reading that for? It's bonehead reading.-Anonymous Seven-Eleven clerk, Portland, Oregon. They call him High Hat. We know him as The Pope. But he's no ordinary pontiff. Leading his flock by day, moonlighting as a detective by night, he is A. Pope, Private Eye. When Angel Yolkmussel, daughter of a Vatican archeologist, is kidnapped and ransomed for St. Peter's bones, it up to the pontiff to take on her kidnappers, the splinter Neo-Canadian Amish Mafia. Risking life and limb, he ventures into the bowels of God's town, enlisting the help of drug addicts, transvestites, slum lords, and more to save the life of a lost lamb. A pontifical satire, this hilarious spoof of life behind the papal walls reveals an ordinary man who ventures into the irreverent and the unknown to bless and protect the outcasts, accomplishing extraordinary feats for the faithful. Greg Mandel is the beloved columnist behind The Oregonian's, The Edge. Raised a Roman Catholic in Alaska, he has made many trips to Vatican City and served as an All Conference Altar Boy in his youth. He resides in Portland, Oregon, with his dog, Cosmo.
