About this book
A young woman goes to an isolated Warwickshire monastery to visit her
brother, who is a monk there. Her sister drops her off at the door. The girl
meets her brother in the parlour; they say goodbye and part; and she is
never seen again. A search of the buildings and grounds finally reveals her
body buried in a shallow grave in the monastery cemetery. The monks,
however, have a cast-iron alibi: they were all in chapel at the time of her
death. Then the abbot receives a mysterious telephone-call. A man’s voice
threatens to hand evidence of the murder to the police – and so incriminate
one of the monks - unless the monastery puts up for public auction its most
treasured possession, a unique mediaeval manuscript, and donates the
proceeds to charity. Is this blackmail or a hoax? As the events unfold, the
inspector and his sergeant become less and less sure of what is fact and
what is fiction, and the inspector begins to fear for his newly-won
promotion. The case takes him to a castle in Italy, a town-house in southern
France, a laboratory in Cambridge and the home of a professor of music
outside Lincoln; but the solution arrives unexpectedly in his own
sitting-room.
In this stylish story written in the classic tradition of British detective
fiction, the author intrigues, informs and entertains in equal measure.
