The Cat and the Cathedral (Book 1 of The Green Man Mysteries)

Ali Cooper

A lost cat, underground tunnels, a secret pagan ceremony, then a murder outside the cathedral. Who can be trusted?

 

When Lucy and her friends try to rescue a cat, they find themselves following it down Medieval tunnels, emerging in the cathedral. Here, in the middle of the night, they witness a secret pagan ceremony. And to make it more sinister, a few hours later, a man is found murdered out in the cloister. The friends confide in the charismatic Canon Amanda Holdright who persuades them not to tell the police what they've seen.

The mystery deepens when the police fail to identify the victim or to find the murder weapon. The teenagers have theories about both of these things. But who can they trust?

The first of a series of YA fantasy novels, set against a factual backdrop of Exeter's underground passages and its cathedral which contains more images of the pagan, Green Man, than it does of Jesus.

The first chapters are uploaded for friends to read. You are welcome to read them for your enjoyment but I am not playing games or entering into reciprocal reads.
