When Louis Gilbert turned in his detective’s badge to become a priest, he thought his days of solving difficult mysteries were over. Now, as the vicar of an ancient church in a small English village, Gilbert finds himself at the center of one strange mystery after another. And he brings to each one his unique combination of street-wise smarts and spiritual intuition.

• In A Soul in Torment, Father Gilbert hears a confession of murder from a young man. But no murder has been committed, and the young man appears to have been a dream.
• In Where the Heart Is, Father Gilbert is caught up in the search for a mysterious and valuable chalice.
• In Dead Air, Gilbert encounters a nemesis from the unsolved case that caused him to resign from Scotland Yard.
