Our favorite clerical detective is back with four longer mysteries in which Canon Sidney Chambers attempts to stop a serial killer with a grievance against the clergy; investigates the disappearance of a famous painting after a distracting display of nudity by a French girl in an art gallery; uncovers the fact that an accidental? drowning on a film shoot may have been something more sinister; and discovers the reasons behind the theft of a baby from a hospital just before Christmas 1963.
In the meantime, Sidney wrestles with the problem of evil, attempts to fulfill the demands of his faithful Labrador, Dickens, and contemplates, as always, the nature of love.

Runcie's episodic (this one is in four parts) mysteries aptly capture British academia of the early 1960s. His clerical sleuth confronts deadly sin head-on in the third entry (after Sidney Chambers and the Perils of Night) in this highly regarded series.
