Publisher's Synopsis
As part of their ancient ceremonies, the Freemasons use what they call Working Tools. But just what are these unique implements? And would anyone in the public recognise them and what they actually represent?
In a sleepy village on the outskirts of the Yorkshire Dales, the regional detective inspector is called to a deserted clay brick factory very early one morning as a dead body has been discovered, horrifically attacked. The commotion has the villagers up and out of bed in their dressing gowns as they observe the comings and goings of the crime scene investigators. Bill, the local pub landlord, is more concerned that the "telly" men don't park their van on his cellar doors.
But a few minutes of research on the internet a few days later reveals some startling news that sends the regional DI and his aide halfway around the world, first to Beirut, Lebanon and later on to Newcastle, Australia.
This is a light-hearted adventure yarn that features everything expected. Murder, mystery, an exceptionally wealthy family, a beautiful girl and of course . . . a skeleton in the cupboard. A sprinkling of Old Testament history throughout should remind every reader of their younger days sitting in school morning assemblies.
