In an isolated village, a series of odd events grabs the attention of the British Government; lights in the sky, a wrecked police car, strange smells and localised intense cold. The Home Office sends in its scientific advisor, Professor Oakwood Ash and his team to investigate. On their arrival there is no warm welcome from the villagers who have a secret that they intend to hold on to. Dominating the village is the ancient and mysterious Priory.

With peculiar happenings, eccentric characters and a thrilling investigation with twists at every turn, Peter Haines is at the peak of his powers in this first rate page-turner.
Book Summary The Great Depression (1929-1942) brought unbearable hardships to millions of Americans from all walks of life. A job, food and a place to rest at night were difficult to come by. Having an even tougher time were thousands of unfortunate German immigrants, who came to America hoping to escape the debilitating economic conditions that existed in Europe, only to discover that their misery had followed them across the wide Atlantic. Many honest Germans discovered that they were forced to resort to lives of crime in order to survive. This is the tragic tale of four of these immigrants.
Being single, ordained and in sole charge of a parish can often be lonely, as Revd. Wendy Morris knows all too well. It’s a situation not helped by having an egotistical and ambitious archdeacon, whose interference fuels rather than quells the criticism and conflict Wendy deals with as rector of St. Olaf’s. Following the resignation of her crabby, disgruntled organist, Wendy appoints a former RUC officer to succeed him. Things further look up with the arrival of a new clerical neighbour and his family. A new era of cooperation begins…and rapidly falls apart as a story of revenge and murder unfolds. Featuring characters who will be familiar to readers of Ted Woods’ first novel Bishop, Priest is a stand-alone murder mystery set in the fictitious Church of Ireland diocese of Daneford.
