The Rev. Septimus Treloar, former CID inspector, looks into a mystery surrounding the theft of Our Lady's Cup from the Relic Chapel of his East Anglia church. Chance tells his story with a minimum of setting, but a continually moving plot and likable characters. Enjoyed it and will read the next one, Septimus and the Minster Ghost.
NOTE: this is a hardcover, Ex-library copy in good condition. First in series.
