The King is Dead

Christmas, 1930. An exiled Balkan king, living incognito in rural Suffolk, is shot dead in his secluded mansion following a meeting with the local vicar, Reverend Lucian Shaw.
Special Branch detectives are soon on the trail of sinister agents of a foreign power that they think are responsible, but Shaw begins to realise that the culprit could be much closer to home.
Observation, cogitation, meditation and prayer lead him down a dangerous road towards a desperate killer who will stop at nothing to evade capture.
