The Turbulent Bishop

In this third instalment of the John Tedesco Cathedral Murder Mystery series, a controversial new bishop arrives in Rhyminster with a clearly stated mission to attack the Woke culture, his every pronouncement stirring up a hornets nest. Bishop James appoints a new Chief Executive who instigates a reign of terror throughout the diocese. But before the dean and the old establishment can take any effective steps to tame the worst excesses of the new regime, Bishop James is found dead, with some medieval lettering seemingly etched on his back. The bewildered police forces decide to call on the services of John Tedesco and Lynne Davey as the acknowledged experts in strange goings on in the Church of England. A chance visit to a ruined Abbey in Yorkshire leads Tedesco to a possible lead, but as the plot takes more slippery twists and turns than the Cresta Run, including some sinister predictions from a ghost like presence, the private investigator fears that there could be more danger to come. Is there a serial killer at loose with his or her sights set on other bishops? And as his friends and colleagues seem to be abandoning him, could this be Tedescos final investigation?
