Clerical Crimes for Christmas

Description

Clerical crime is almost as old as Christmas itself. Whether one deplores the violent despatch of Thomas à Becket or swears by Father Brown, tales of unholy wrong-doings continue to exercise the imagination of clergy and laity alike and, over the years, have provided inspiration for writers of the calibre of Charles Dickens, M.R. James, Agatha Christie and Edmund Crispin - all featured in this collection of classics.
