Ashes to Ashes

More about the book

The St. Bernadette's Parents League was formed to save the old, bankrupt parochial school from being replaced by a twenty-story apartment house. The irate protesters had sentiment and Francis P. Omara on their side, Unger Realty had John Putnam Thatcher of Sloan Guaranty Trust, four million dollars, and the Archdiocese of New York behind them. Francis P. Omara was a powerful spokesman for his cause - but so was an unknown killer with a butcher's mallet who was determined to have the last word.... And so John Putnam Thatcher, the Sloan's urbane V.P., finds himslef out of Wall Street, in the heart of Queens, and smack in the middle of unholy murder!
