As schism threatens the Anglican Church, a Canterbury Canon's mysterious death is somehow linked to the discovery of what may be the lost bones of the murdered Archibishop of Canterbury, Thomas Becket

St Martins Pr

Church official Richard Harrison returns to the precincts of Canterbury to find circumstances far from divine: A radical new Archdeacon, bent on costcutting, is spreading alarm and despondency through the diocese. Yet the Archdeacon's rantings pale against the mysterious death of a figure from Harrison's past, whose apparent suicide raises a story of wartime intrigue buried these sixty years. Harrison risks his reputation in trying to save the church, but risks far more in the intrigue he stumbles into - an intrigue whose threads lead back to the politics of the 1930s and a famous wartime conspiracy.

Dark Provenance/a Mystery

Richard Harrison, a church official in modern-day Canterbury, England, investigates the murder of a person he found in a locked room, even as townspeople put on a production of Marlowe's Doctor Faustus, a play that somehow is connected to the murder.

St.Martin's Press

Church official Richard Harrison returns to the precincts of Canterbury to find things far from happy. The proposed economic cutbacks of the new Archdeacon are spreading alarm through the diocese, while his radical views are causing passions to boil within the cathedral community itself. Harrison risks friendship and reputation by helping to force a harsh rationalization programme on a deeply traditional Church. In doing so, he becomes enmeshed in an intrigue leading back to the politics of the nineteen-thirties and a famous wartime conspiracy.

Ulverscroft

After years in government service, Richard Harrison is hoping for a quiet retirement in Canterbury, where he works for the Cathedral and tends to his beloved disabled wife. Fate, though, has other plans for Harrison, which begin with a mysterious death, move on to blackmail in the secretive world of church politics, and explode into a media circus when workmen uncover a tomb that may be the final resting place of Thomas Becket?the notorious 12th-century Archbishop of Canterbury, otherwise known as St. Thomas. So much for that quiet retirement.

The Becket Factor (Volume 1)

Felony & Mayhem Press

An administrator at Canterbury Cathedral, Richard Harrison isn?t much troubled by a nasty anonymous letter that has turned up, alleging sexual misconduct in a local parish. But the situation turns much more than unpleasant when Harrison stumbles on a brutal double-murder. Following the leads will demand that Harrison investigate not only the sale of a 200-year-old cottage but also, bizarrely, the work of Christopher Marlowe, the 16th-century playwright. And to find the truth he will have to ask many hard questions of the Church he loves, and shiver through that midnight hour when, in the words of Marlowe?s Dr Faustus, ?the clock will strike, and the devil will come.?

Midnight Come (Volume 2)

Richard Harrison has spent most of his life as a spy. But that’s all behind him; he wants nothing more than a quiet retirement in the cathedral town of Canterbury. But the past has a way of refusing to stay buried – something Harrison is forced to remember when an unknown young woman turns up on his doorstep, bearing a message from her late father, a refugee from Hitler’s Germany, and an expert in antiques. It’s a message that Harrison doesn’t want to hear. And he particularly doesn’t want to believe it has anything to do with the recent suicide of an elderly, notoriously dithering parish priest.
