About Missing Joseph
Chance and bad weather lead Deborah St. James and the vicar of Winslough to London's National Gallery to view da Vinci's study for his "Virgin and Child." The vicar's comment that Joseph is missing strikes a chord with Deborah, whose inability to bear a child causes her deep grief...and makes for a growing rift in her marriage. Comforted by the vicar's words, Deborah and her husband Simon take a holiday in Lancashire where she can regain peace of mind and see the vicar again. One detail mars the plan -- the vicar dies before they arrive. As a forensic scientist Simon suspects murder. With Detective Inspector Thomas Lynley's assistance, he means to find out why no charges were brought against the sensual herbalist who fed the vicar a dinner laced with death.
