The Becket Factor

Sophisticated, complex plotting at the center of the Anglican Church. *First in the Canterbury Cathedral trilogy, all to come from F&M. *First time in U.S. paperback. *Mysteries of church intrigue are very popular with mystery readers.* Clerical setting and sophisticated prose will combine to appeal to fans of Julia Spencer Fleming - note that this is the Anglican Church, rather than Roman Catholic, and has nothing to do with The Da Vinci Code. * Shades of Blount and Burgess glimmer in--of all places- -Canterbury Cathedral... Echoes of le Carr, about in this elegantly written ... first novel, full of the ritual, pomp, and underpinnings of the great cathedral - Kirkus. *A splendid mix of the ecclesiastical, homicidal, political, and espionage ... altogether, an impressive first novel - TheTimes (of London). *A good ecclesiastical thriller is a rarity. Grab this one. It's a treat. - The Observer (UK).
