The Non-Jurors' Cypher
I am reading the brand new book by Paul Deacon. It's a glorious page-turner! Literally begging for a high-court injunction against it.
The Non-Jurors' Cypher
by Paul Deacon
http://uk.geocities.com/seals_island/siup/cypher.html
A thousand eyes seem to be watching when the chaplain of a small, renowned church library in North Wales is found murdered in the creaking wooden upper balcony of the stacks, mysteriously holding a copy of Burgon's nineteenth-century Lives of Ten Good Men. What does the young investigating local Constable Rhys Campbell know of the connections between this library and the secret non-jurors, a society of underground bishops who hold the line of apostolic succession going back to the time of the exiled King James III? Will the theological mysteries of this secretive continuing Anglican sect be revealed? Are these men and women willing to kill for their beliefs regarding the hypostatic union? How have their mysterious consecrations been continued to this day? Who in the present Anglican hierarchy ranks amongst their number? PC Campbell teams up with the Rev. Dr. Daniel Lastrada, lecturer in Secret Church History at Piltdown Theological Institute as they race across the country-side on Connect Trains and a trusty Hillman Imp to unearth the challenging secrets left behind by one of the sect's secret bishops, the Co. Offaly postmaster and author, Anthony Trollope. Can this couple defeat the forces of evil ranged against them in the form of the conservative and rigid sect Forward in Faith that commands frighteningly unflinching allegiance from its adherents?
