When a monk is found poisoned at St. Emma's Priory, the Chief Constable, a friend of the Prior, insists that Andy Ross and his team handle the investigation. The case turns out to be more complex than they first thought. After a second victim is found with a pitchfork thrust through his body, Ross discovers that to solve the case, they must reopen a cold case from years ago. When connections to the old East German Secret Police, the Stasi, are revealed, Ross realizes that nothing is as it seems in The Mersey Monastery Murders.
