Murder at Maddleskirk Abbey

After Constable Nick of Aidensfield's retirement he helped create a small private police force of monk-constables serving Maddleskirk Abbey and its adjoining college. The body of an unknown man is discovered in the crypt and Nick and DCS “Nabber” Napier welcome the assistance of the monkstables as they have become known as their knowledge proves invaluable. As the investigation hots up a prominent pupil of the college goes missing and the monkstables find themselves pitched into an intense investigation as they search for the missing boy. With help from retired Sgt Oscar Blaketon and ex-PC Alf Ventress and some input from Claude Jeremiah Greengrass Nick's experience is put to the test. (web)
