A 1920s Murder Mystery in the depths of rural Yorkshire A scoundrel lies dying, he makes his confession; his sins were despicable and he wants to atone for his wasted life.
He bequeaths an invaluable gift to Monks Hood Abbey, an ancient monastery set in a lonely corner of the Yorkshire moors.
But sin throws a long shadow and corruption crawls in its shade.
Strangers come forward and lay claim to the monks' inheritance.
The Abbot calls on Major Heathcliff.
