When a glamorous murder lands on the doorstep of a Chicago megachurch, the last person anyone expects to crack the case is the Reverend Con Randolph — a former professional quarterback turned pastor with a nose for sin and a gift for unravelling deception. Reverend Randolph and the Fall From Grace, Inc. is a wickedly entertaining clerical mystery that blends the irreverence of satirical fiction with the sharp plotting of classic crime, as Randolph navigates a congregation full of secrets, scandals, and suspects who wear their piety like a costume. Charles Merrill Smith — himself an ordained minister — brings an insider's sardonic eye to the world of organised religion, skewering ecclesiastical pomposity with the precision of a seasoned satirist while keeping the pages turning with genuine suspense. The result is a novel that is equal parts whodunit and social comedy, asking uncomfortable questions about faith, money, and moral corruption beneath the gleaming surface of institutional Christianity. First published in 1974, it launched a beloved mystery series that continues to reward readers who like their detectives with a collar and their humour bone-dry — leaving one to wonder just how many more sins the good Reverend has yet to uncover.
