By Ellis Peters

A historic door is returned to the church from where it was removed centuries ago, and the local bishop arrives to consecrate it with press coverage. The locals tell tales of the door being bad luck… Several months later one of the reporters who covered the consecration of the door comes back into town to follow up. And then is found dead reaching for the knocker in the middle of the door.

And now chief inspector George Felse must solve the case before the curse strikes again…. A fast read that includes the genteel poor, the working class and what people will do to protect what they think is theirs.
