Synopsis
In this latest collection of tales from the North Yorkshire moorland community of Aidensfield, PC Nick and Sergeant Blaketon find themselves perambulating the parish boundaries, and the vicar upsets the villagers by charging everyone for repairs to the chancel - non-Christians and others besides. The vicar's wife appears to be having an affair with a Borstal trainee, Claude Jeremiah Greengrass brews some ale to celebrate a society wedding at which the Chief Constable is a guest, a baby is abandoned outside the Catholic church and there are problems with a graveyard-mowing sheep who doesn't like to hear swear words. Nick tries to prevent a family researcher from unearthing some unpalatable truths about an ancestor, there's a mysterious death during a sword dance and when the vicar decides to hold a service for working animals, Greengrass claims that Alfred is a guard dog.Related Items

In an effort to rejuvenate his flagging career, novelist Ethelred Tressider embarks on a "research trip" to Egypt. No sooner has the cruise on the Nile begun, however, than events quickly unravel: an attempt is made on Ethelred's life; the boat's engine explodes, and a passenger is found murdered. As the boat drifts out of control, suspicion falls on everyone aboard - including Ethelred.
