Julia Smith is sitting peacefully in the cathedral after her successful interview at the diocesan office when she hears an ear-splitting shriek coming from the chapel.

Mrs Thrigg, the cleaner, is frozen with shock and holding on to the white marble font for dear life.

A young man’s severed head is perched on the edge of its ample basin, his lifeless eyes staring right at her.

Fortunately for Julia, Deaconess Theodora decides to take her under her wing. Together they begin their investigations into this grisly murder.

But the deeper they dive, the more they realise all is not well in the once-peaceful town of Medewich.

Can Julia and Theodora find the culprit before they strike again?

Fans of Clare Chase, Frances Evesham, Dee MacDonald, Veronica Black, Jeanne M. Dams and Lis Howell will adore this series of clerical mysteries.
