‘A splendidly vigorous thriller.’ – BBC

Zebedee Crunch, the fanatical preacher of a revivalist sect, wants sinners to burn in Hell and all earthly governments swept away in a holocaust of flame.

When Constable Brewer falls in love with a member of Zebedee’s sect, Lily Hoskin, he soon realises that she is trying to convert him to their beliefs.

Brewer expresses his concerns to his station Sergeant, Lune, but in his eagerness to impress Lily, Constable Brewer attends some of their gatherings. Brewer is introduced to a world he could never have imagined while Zebedee focuses his attention on his latest convert, George Hawkins.

But unbeknown to him, Hawkins is a vicious psychopath who is determined to make his obsession a reality. When Zebedee’s crippled sister is attacked, Zebedee and Hawkins go on the run.

Convinced they both share the same vision, Zebedee condones George Hawkins’s actions but little does he know the extent of George’s capabilities…

Meanwhile, DS Morrison from Scotland Yard and Mr Holmes, from the Special security branch, are instructed to find the suspect in the bombing of Nelson’s Column in Dublin, who they believe is now residing in London.

Sergeant Lune, known as the holy terror of Lambeth Green, takes on the case of Zebedee’s sisters’ attack.

Soon his investigation leads him to Scotland Yard … but who exactly is he looking for and how dangerous could this investigation be?

When the pieces fall together, there is little time left for Lune … can he identify the culprits in time?

    Used to hear his name on the BBC when I was little. It was unusual.

    He died in 2000. Seems like a good life. Four wives From Wiki


    Conrad Voss Bark was born in 1913 to a family of Quakers in the Cottingham, East Riding of Yorkshire. He studied at Hymers College in Hull and at Bristol Grammar School in Clifton, Bristol. He started working at J. S. Fry & Sons, the chocolate maker from Bristol, and in 1935 started working as a journalist for the Hampstead News and the Golders Green Gazette. He was a conscientious objector and a volunteer for the ambulance service in London during World War II.[1]He started working for the Western Daily Press after the end of the war, and in 1947 became a writer for The Times. In 1948 he married Charmian, née Evers, (deceased 1964), with whom he had four children. He joined the BBC in 1951 and was between 1952 and 1970 the parliamentary correspondent for the BBC television, and was one of two chosen to be "the first news reporter to read the news live on BBC Television News". Afterwards he worked for Charles Barker City, a public relations company and became the spokesman for the British Trawler Federation in 1973, during the Second Cod War.[1]As a fiction writer, he was best known for his series of Mr. David Holmes detective novels.[1]His non-fiction work mainly concerns fly fishing, and he gave lessons at the Arundell Arms fly fishing school in Lifton, Devon, which was the property of his fourth wife Anne Fox-Edwards, MBE (1928-2012), a former actress and the daughter of Sir Charles Wilfrid Bennett.[2] He was a Times angling correspondent for twelve years after retiring from the BBC.[1
