Andrew Greeley Catholic priest, sociologist, prodigious writer on many things Irish is back with another Nuala Anne McGrail mystery, "Irish Crystal." This time around, Nuala's husband Dermot has a dream of impending doom, and Greeley sets about throwing something into the mix for every reader. Homeland Security agents may want to deport Nuala. There's also a prosperous, yet perhaps devious clan of Irish-American aristocrats, car-bombings on the Chicago riverfront, and even a detour into Irish history and the era of Robert Emmet and the uprisings of the 1790s and 1800s. Greeley is not exactly a subtle writer, but devoted fans will not be disappointed by "Irish Crystal." ($24.95 / 301 pages / Forge)
