James Callahan was born in
Northern Ireland and came to America when he was sixteen with his mother
after the death of his father and sister. He grew up in South Boston and
eventually ended up on the Boston police force as a homicide detective.
Callahan's view of justice and his investigative techniques are
different than the normal Boston cop and this sometimes gets him into
trouble with his superiors and his police colleagues. Callahan first appeared in The Iscariot Conspiracy. When a high Vatican official in Boston on a secret mission for the Pope is killed in a car bombing Callahan gets the case along with his partner Denise Cormier. The second book in the series is called The Disappearance of Jenna Drago. The third book in the series, Shattered Lives, will be out in 2004. "The characters are so believable that, at times, the reader will have a hard time remembering The Iscariot Conspiracy is only a work of fiction.: Myshelf.com "The Disappearance of Jenna Drago has the potential to pull Blanchard out of the pack of lesser known writers and put him up there with some of today's best." Iloveamystery.com "This is a polished, well-crafted story well worth the time of mystery lovers." Murder and Mayhem Book Club. "Chateau Productions has optioned Al Blanchard's mystery novel, The Disappearance of Jenna Drago, and is seeking Beau Bridges to play James Callahan." New York Post.
