Holy Disorders (Classic Crime S.) - Softcover
Professor Gervase Fen was spending some time in the cathedral town of Tolnbridge, and had become deeply interested in entymology. But from studying the habits of the clergy and chasing insects with a butterfly net, he turned his hunting proclivities towards murderers, spies and witches.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Reprint; Third Printing. Minor cover creases and edge wear. ; Nice tight copy, no names or marks inside, appears unread. Cover artwork by George Tute. ; Penguin Classic Crime; 224 pages; In the sleepy provincial town of Tolnbridge an attempt is made on the life of the cathedral's organist, Denis Brooks. Oxford Don Gervase Fen, who happens to be in the town at the time, summons his old friend, composer Geoffrey Vintner, to replace Brooks. But someone, somewhere, attempts to stop Geoffrey's arrival. It seems that wartime Tolnbridge has a great many secrets to conceal, and only the insufferably arrogant Fen has the mental ability to get to the bottom of the puzzle. Mass Market PB.
