The Vicar's Lot

Meet The Vicar. If you have read the earlier books in The Island Connection series, you will already have had a passing acquaintance with him. He’s a psychopathic killer with a dog collar and reason for being who and what he is.

Nothing satisfies The Vicar more than to send his chosen victims to God, so God can mete out his own justice. But The Vicar’s methods are vicious and brutal, and his subjects are begging for death long before he finally sends them on their way to meet his boss.

Detective Sergeant Sarah Flemons and her new partner, Constable Penny Chakyar, find themselves on a secretive mission in the Dordogne area of France. Fortunately for Sarah, Penny speaks excellent French. So too does The Vicar, who also finds himself on a mission of a different kind. Who is Hjalmar, and why does he have scars near his ears and two fingers missing on one hand? Michel LeBrun was also a man on a mission before his body was found in the woods. What was he trying to find before he was murdered?

Sarah and Penny know nothing of The Vicar. Their task is to find out who killed Michel LeBrun, and why. Hjalmar knows nothing about Sarah and Penny, but knows all about The Vicar, which is why he grabs a knife when he finds him sitting in his kitchen asking for a cup of tea â€" Earl Grey, of course. And passion comes visiting when Penny and Hjalmar set eyes on each other on a warm summer evening.

It’s all very confusing â€" until you read The Vicar's Lot.
