Description
The Vatican has just assigned auxiliary Bishop Gus Quill to the Archdiocese of Chicago over the violent protests of Bishop Blackie Ryan's boss Sean Cardinal Cronin, Archbishop of Chicago. Quill is under the illusion that he's been sent from Rome to replace the good Cardinal, when in fact, he was booted out because of his incompetence. No sooner does he arrive in Chicago that he -- and the L Train he was riding - disappear. It falls on the inimitable Bishop Blackie Ryan to search for the missing bishop no one really wants to find.
