The Body Under the Bridge # 1 in the Father Gilbert Mystery series, by Paul McCusker
Father Gilbert is a former Scotland Yard detective, who is now a priest of a modest Anglican church in the small town of Hailsham. One day, a man commits suicide by throwing himself off the church tower. They uncover a two hundred year old body under the ancient bridge. Both deaths are linked to a centuries old battle between two local families; the Todd’s and the Haysham’s. David Todd and Lord Haysham begin to act strangely. Lord Haysham is murdered and David is the main suspect, claiming forces of evil are responsible. Has the secret occult society emerged again?
