Prohibition and the Priest

<p>In<em> Prohibition and the Priest</em> David Tracy moves his characters from page to page like chess pieces. In the era of the Volstead Act he relates a well-researched true story of courage intrigue and betrayal that pits a righteous priest against a corrupt Catholic hierarchy a scheming FBI and a vicious Ku Klux Klan. Based on the life of Father Walter A. Grace this page-turner weaves three family histories into a sobering yet entertaining work of fiction in the genre of Larry McMurtry and Malachi Martin. Only in <em>Prohibition and the Priest</em> can a reader find realistic interactions between an actual rum-runner George Skelly a young Jimmy Hoffa a holy St. Andre Bessette wholesome Shakers an eccentric Babe Ruth a cunning J. Edgar Hoover and barbaric Klansmen. Add in a wrongly convicted priest a beauty queen who is in love with him and a blackmailed bishop the reader won't want to put this book down.
