Inspektor Haze a lord Redmond musejí zjistit, jak se do čerstvě vykopaného hrobu, který byl určen pro někoho jiného, dostal mladý kaplan. Nebohého duchovního, jenž do anglické vísky Upper Finchley přicestoval teprve nedávno, jeho rodina i známí považovali za dobrosrdečného světce zcela oddaného Bohu a dobrým skutkům. Brutálně provedená vražda i fakt, že pachatel cítil nutnost mrtvolu zasypat vrstvou hlíny, však naznačují, že ani jeho nejbližší možná nevěděli, s kým mají tu čest. Daniel a Jason v parném létě dlouho marně pátrají po vrahovi a vrchní inspektor Coleridge stále důrazněji vyžaduje, aby případ konečně vyřešili. Pokud se chtějí dobrat zdárného konce, budou potřebovat hlubší vhled do života Sebastiana Sladea. Zjišťují, že i boží služebníci mají svá temná tajemství a že konečné zúčtování může nabírat až biblických rozměrů.
