Reverend Florrie Feldman has put the unpleasantness of her old parish behind her and made a fresh start in the sleepy little village of Ford Hollow, a community at peace - on the surface.

Underneath the calm façade the usual rivalries and petty jealous are simmering. There is also a deep undercurrent of resentment towards a company which plans to build a new housing estate, altering the ancient landscape irrevocably.

Shortly after Florrie takes over the parish reins, the church choir's oldest member is found in his usual seat, dead as a doornail, his neck broken. Enter Detective Inspector Harry Falconer and Detective Sergeant 'Davey' Carmichael ...

With accusations of dirty deals, nefarious businessmen, and crooked committees, the atmosphere in the village is tense - and murderous! Falconer and Carmichael tackle the escalating events in their usual style - and there is emotional turmoil for Falconer in the shape of his 'old flame', Dr Honey Dubois...
