Following the more than slight embarrassment of having murdered a lady parishioner, the hapless Reverend Francis Oughterard is now plunged into the world of art crime. Forced by the shady Nicholas Ingaza into acting as a fence for stolen paintings, he must endure the probings of terrifying female novelist and amateur sleuth Maud Tubbly Pole, who is hell-bent on protraying him in her next novel. Haunted by his homicidal past and fearful of exposure in his new role, the Reverend flounders in a mesh of intrigue and deceit.
