Monsignor Beresford Investigates: The Body in the Abbey Ruins (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781658574495)

When Monsignor Peter Beresford returns to his Lincolnshire roots to lead the Special Vatican Police, he expects his toughest challenges to come from within the Church. But when the body of a young nun is found amidst the ancient stones of Bardney Abbey, Beresford and his formidable assistant, Sister Johnson, are plunged into a labyrinthine mystery. The investigation uncovers secrets festering beneath the surface of village life-family feuds, old scandals, and vengeful ambitions-while navigating the intricate corridors of ecclesiastical power on both sides of the Channel.
As Beresford seeks justice for the dead and redemption for the living, he must balance the burdens of faith, loyalty, and the shadows cast by his own family history. With each twist, the case draws him deeper into questions not just of guilt, but of forgiveness and the true cost of salvation. Set against the evocative backdrop of rural Lincolnshire and the intrigue of Vatican politics, this sweeping crime novel is as much about the ties that bind as the darkness that divides.
Rich in wit, social insight, and unforgettable characters, Monsignor Beresford Investigates: The Body in the Abbey Ruins is a masterful new addition to the mystery genre-where faith and justice are forever entwined, and every answer begets a new question.
