When Peter Barnes became the house-for-duty, priest in charge of the ancient St Walston's church, he thought life couldn't get any better. One of the first ever police officers to be ordained into the Church of England, Peter believed he could easily juggle being a part-time copper, and parish priest. All that he held dear would be thrown into incredible turmoil. The mysterious disappearance in 1966 of a former priest would cast a ghostly shadow over his life.
The worlds of police officer and priest soon collide and those long dead, reach out from the grave. Hauntings, funerals and a moribund congregation, clash with burglaries, thefts and murder on his rural police beat. Superiors in the police suspicious of his faith and a congregation hiding a long-held secret, bring challenges at every turn.
Pig in the Pulpit, is a true to life tale set in the mid 1990's. It is a crime story with a difference.
