Midnight Come

An administrator at Canterbury Cathedral, Richard Harrison isn’t much troubled by a nasty anonymous letter that has turned up, alleging sexual misconduct in a local parish. But the situation turns much more than unpleasant when Harrison stumbles on a brutal double-murder.

And to find the truth he will have to ask many hard questions of the Church he loves, and shiver through that midnight hour when, in the words of Marlowe’s Dr Faustus, “the clock will strike, and the devil will come”
