Description

From the best of *Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine* and *Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine* comes this divine collection featuring ecclesiastical sleuths. > "Rumpole and the Man of God" by John Mortimer: Can Rumpole, barrister extraordinaire, exonerate an alleged kleptomaniac in cleric's clothing? And what about the mysterious past of a fellow lawyer's lady friend? >"The Price of Light" by Ellis Peters: When the old, nearly blind monk claims that the monastery's new silver candlesticks have been taken by the Blessed Lady herself, it is up to Brother Cadfael to catch a thief of a more corporeal nature. >"The Dutiful Son" by Ralph McInerny: The dying woman's last wish was to have her dead child exhumed and buried in hallowed ground. But Father Dowling goes digging for clues when he unearths a most unholy crime. And seven other tales of suspenseful sacrilege.
