Sidney Chambers and the Perils of the Night (Grantchester, 2)
Description
The second book in The Grantchester Mystery Series, and the inspiration for
the primetime PBS/Masterpiece television series, Grantchester. The loveable
full-time priest and part-time detective Canon Sidney Chambers continues his
sleuthing adventures in late 1950’s Cambridge. Accompanied by his faithful
Labrador Dickens, and working in tandem with the increasingly exasperated
Inspector Geordie Keating, Sidney is called on to investigate the unexpected
fall of a Cambridge don from the roof of King’s College Chapel; a case of
arson at a glamor photographer’s studio; and the poisoning of Zafar Ali,
Grantchester’s finest spin bowler, in the middle of a crucial game of cricket.
As he pursues his quietly probing inquiries, Sidney also has to decide on the
vexed question of marriage. Can he choose between the rich, glamorous
socialite Amanda Kendall and Hildegard Staunton, a beguiling German widow
three years his junior? To help him make up his mind Sidney takes a trip
abroad, only to find himself trapped in a complex web of international
espionage just as the Berlin Wall is going up. Here are six interlocking
adventures that combine mystery with morality, and criminality with charm.
