The Chalice: Phil Rickman

Glastonbury, legendary resting place of the Holy Grail, is a mysterious and haunting town. But when plump ditzy Diane Ffitch returns home, she's uneasy, and not only about her aristocratic family's reaction to her broken engagement and New Age companions. Plans for a new motorway have intensified the bitterness between locals and the pilgrims - the sacred air is soured. And as the town becomes increasingly split by violence and death, Diane, local bookseller Jaunita Carey and writer Joey Powys must face up to an awful possibility: the existence of an anti-Grail - the Dark Chalice.
