The Case of the Famished Parson

Dr. James Macintosh, the Bishop of Greyle, was a mysterious man. For a long time, nobody even knew his last name. When his body is found emaciated and battered, it appears he was pushed face-first off the edge of a cliff. Inspector Littlejohn can't explain the savagery of the murder. Did the Bishop know too much about the secretive citizens of Cape Marvin? Or did the reason have something to do with the strange family he left behind in Medhope? -- adapted from back cover
