In the quiet East Yorkshire village of Roos, so flat you could watch a terrier run away for three days, are two men of middling ambition that stumble upon a mystery of biblical proportions.
When Coldog and Trev discover a cryptic message on a beer mat suggesting someone called 'Helen' may have found the Grail, they do what any reasonable men would do. They go looking for it.
What follows is a quest involving: a jar with suspicious contents, a dog who is always muddy, at least three Helens, and the worrying possibility that God might have had a second child.
A Yorkshire Gospel is a surreal, irreverent, and thoroughly northern adventure about faith, friendship, and the dangers of thinking too hard after six pints. Somewhere between divine revelation and administrative error lies the truth. And it might just be in Yorkshire.
