Synopsis

This is the third novel featuring the Reverend Francis Oughterard, vicar of St. Botolph's and genteel murderer of parishioner Mrs. Elizabeth Fotherington. So far eluding arrest (but with fears of imminent exposure), he is in the grip of his blackmailing pal, the shady Nicholas Ingaza, who forces him to steal a valuable figurine of a prancing pig from collector Claude Blenkinsop.
Naturally the project backfires and the hapless vicar is plunged into further skullduggery during which someone is murdered. The Reverend's despairing efforts to distance himself from the crime and additional police interest lead to embarrassing complications both for himself and his bishop, the pompous Horace Clinker.
Things come to a head when Oughterard's own life is put at risk. Once again it is up to his world-weary cat, Maurice and intrepid mongrel, Bouncer, to save the Reverend's bacon.
