Inspector Wexford No. XXIV. A female vicar named Sarah Hussein is discovered strangled in her Kingsmarkham vicarage. Maxine, the gossipy cleaning woman who discovers her body, happens to also be in the employ of retired Chief Inspector Wexford and his wife. When Wexford's old deputy Detective Inspector Mike Burden calls on him, Wexford is intrigued by the unusual circumstances of the murder and leaps at the chance to tag along with the investigators. A single mother to a teenage girl, Hussein was a woman working in a male-dominated profession. Moreover, she was of mixed race and working to modernize the church. Could racism or sexism have played a factor in her murder? As Wexford searches the Vicar’s house, he sees a book on her bedside table with a letter serving as a bookmark. Without thinking, Wexford puts it into his pocket. He soon realizes he has made a grave error in removing a piece of valuable evidence from the scene without telling anybody. Yet what he finds inside begins to illuminate Hussein's murky past. Is there more to her than meets the eye?
