Under pressure from blackmailing pal Nicholas Ingaza, the Revd Francis Oughterard journeys to the French Auvergne. The unlikely pair are off in search of buried gold in a chateau once belonging to Mrs Fotherington. Primrose, the vicar's bossy sister, is involved - as is Maurice and Bouncer. To the vicar's consternation, in France they encounter his blustering bishop, Horace Clinker, and a couple of tiresome hangers-on. Will Francis survive the ordeal and be able to return to the sanctuary of his vicarage with his own secret undetected?

About the Author:
A graduate of the universities of Nottingham and Newcastle upon Tyne, Suzette A Hill taught English Literature for many years at Reading College before retiring to Herefordshire where, despite the novel's narrative, she lives convivially with neither dog, cat nor clergyman.
From Publishers Weekly:
Starred Review. Hill's delightful fourth 1950s clerical mystery (after 2009's Bone Idle) takes the Rev. Francis Oughterard, canon of St. Botolph's in Molehill, Surrey, to the Auvergne in the south of France, where he has inherited a villa from Elizabeth Fotherington, the annoying woman he murdered outside his vicarage in 2007's A Load of Old Bones. Accompanying Francis is his sister, Primrose, and his unscrupulous friend, Nicholas Ingaza, who provided him with an alibi that got him off the hook for Mrs. Fotherington's murder and who believes the villa may contain Nazi gold. To Francis's astonishment, his dog, Bouncer, and his cat, Maurice, for whom he made arrangements back in England, also turn up in France, where they all become involved in yet another comic and dangerous romp. Evocative descriptions of the French countryside, an intriguing puzzle, and a host of lively characters will leave series fans and newcomers alike eager for the next installment.
