The Body and the Blood: a John Jordan Mystery Book 4 (John Jordan Mysteries)
â€Michael Lister may be the author of the most unique series running in mystery fiction. It crackles with tension and authenticityâ€, Michael Connelly.
Michael Koryta says, "If you like crime writing with depth, suspense, and sterling prose, you should be reading Michael Lister."
John Jordan and the “Blood†series wouldn’t exist had I not been a prison chaplain.
But as inspiring and influential as I found Father Brown and the ecclesiastical sleuths that followed him, particularly those penned by Andrew Greeley, I was far more influenced by hard-boiled writers like Robert B. Parker, James Lee Burke, Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett, Michael Connelly, Graham Greene, Dennis Lehane, Ernest Hemingway, Walter Mosley, and Cormac McCarthy, and I knew that my clerical detective would be different. I would introduce a strong, tough, troubled clerical detective into the world of the hard-boiled detective novel. And that’s where prison chaplaincy came in.
