The Salisbury Manuscript - Hardcover

In the fog-shrouded autumn of 1873 a man dies violently while searching a burial chamber on the outskirts of the city of Salisbury. At the same time Tom Ansell, a young lawyer, arrives from London to receive a manuscript from one of the cathedral canons. Felix Slater wants the compromising memoirs of his late father to be locked away until after his own death. But Slater's death arrives much sooner than expected, and it is Tom who discovers the clergyman's body and comes under suspicion for his murder. The manuscript has disappeared.
To clear himself, Tom must go in search of the real culprit among the decidedly odd Slater family and others who dwell in the shadows of the great cathedral and the ancient earthworks of Salisbury Plain. He is helped by his fiancee. Helen Scott, a budding novelist. But before very long Tom and Helen's own lives will be in danger, at the hands of an ingenious and elusive killer.
