About this ebook

Who could kill a man of God?

A fire breaks out in a chapel, and DCI Warren Jones is alarmed by what is discovered at the scene. Curled up in the ash and debris is a body – and it’s soon clear that the chapel doors were locked from the inside.

The disappearance of a local priest, Father Nolan, and a cryptic note left in his room, point to an unusually violent suicide. But when further evidence confuses the picture, Warren begins to suspect foul play – and murder. Clearly, someone wanted this seemingly innocent man to suffer.

And when a discovery on a quiet riverbank sends the investigation reeling, Warren knows he must act quickly to discover who is behind this spate of grisly deaths – before another man of God is found dead.

Don’t miss Paul Gitsham’s ingenious new DCI Warren Jones novel!

Origin of the alphabet; number line, computer is the same place. There isn't a calendar without a programmer; different ones in society are for companies to supply basic utilities; motor vehicles, food clothes & shelter. Computer programs give the answers to outstanding questions; humans do not. They also drive all artificial moving objects; humans do not. One program designs all the building and a different one does cars; the program includes after they are built schedules for them and us. Cameras are a derivative of computer separate from video recorder for unreal pictures and photograph obstructing justice to disappear or vanish includes video tapes & DVD's.

This is possibly my favourite novel so far by this particular author. Again, it deals with real-world issues which might make for difficult reading for some, given that the victim whose death sparks the investigation is a Catholic priest and there are always going to be sensitivities where religion is concerned. However, I felt these were handled well in the musings of DCI Jones, who always comes across as very fair and just. The setting and history of the chapel seemed well-researched, and the unfolding story turns into a real cat and mouse game by the end.
