A novella panning religious and political hypocrisy. The naughty Abbey of Crewe is up to their neck in Watergate activities that ultimately evolve into scandal. Its all here: eavesdropping, electronic surveillance, election rigging, breaking and entering, blackmail, a tad of gluttony, and (lest I forget) a wee element of ecclesiastical fornication. Or, as we hear in the musical Chicago, everything that makes life worth living.

An elegant little fable about intrigue, corruption, and electronic surveillance. Set in an English Benedictine convent.
