Matty Doolin by Catherine Cookson - 1975 Piccolo UK or Corgi paperback edition

Matty Doolin is 15 and, in his Tyneside home in the 1960s, this means it is time for him to leave school and follow his father into the docks.  All Matty really wants, however, is to work with animals, tend them, help them, care for them.  But he has no qualifications and his parents have no real understanding of his ambition - they won't even let him keep Nelson, the old stray dog he befriends and takes home.
Yet, finally, it is because of Nelson that Matty gets permission to go on a camping holiday with his friends, Joe and Willie. And this holiday, on a farm high on the fells, is to take Matty through unexpected danger to a new and satisfying way of life.......

Abracadaver begins with a magic show at the St. Hilary's Parish Centre on a peaceful winter's night in Fox River, Illinois.  A ring inscribed "To FG from AG.  Con Amore" is used in a trick, but the inscription sticks in Father Dowling's mind because the recipient's initials are those of a woman who disappeared without a trace.  Her husband, a wealthy real estate developer, is linked by rumour to another woman, and when one of his parishioners is murdered, Father Dowling begins to investigate the complex web of connections behind the simple ring.
