      Mysterious events start happening in the city of Canterbury in England, baffling the local police force. The authorities are confronted with a series of murders having no apparent motive and little in the way of clues. The victims are an eclectic mix of visitors to Canterbury Cathedral, seemingly strangers with no obvious connection. The police work on two theories, a fancy dress party going horribly wrong or tit-for-tat reprisals instigated by an international spy ring. A code book, 'Codex Antonius', plays a vital part in the story, yet this adds to the confusion as it is written in Latin.

      Based on transcriptions from a seminar held at Claymont Court, West Virginia, this is an experiential as well as theoretical exploration. Its frame of reference is taken from the ideas of G.I. Gurdjieff and J.G. Bennett. It explains the concept of three kinds of time and how they relate to life, dreams, progress and spirituality. And it includes exercises and discussions that bring the concepts into living experience. The text is enriched with remarkable drawings by Phyllis Peltz Bolton. Written in 1979, this book remains relevant as an exposition of Bennett's ideas on time.
