Heads roll. Corpses dance. People will believe what they want to believe.

After Sister Winfrede, leader of the second violins in the famous Nun’s Orchestra in Portsmouth, is found decapitated, both the police and the MI5 are called in to investigate.

More bodies soon follow, but the deceased don't seem to stay dead. One of the victims, Bea Flat, is seemingly resurrected and ready to conduct the orchestra, and ominous signs tell of a connection to something sinister.

Melding myth, legend and contemporary crime fiction, Rite Judgement is a story of good against evil, of mysterious events that you can never be sure actually happened, and above all of hope and the mind's capacity to believe anything that might make dreams come true. And in the middle of it all, Jack Austin and the DaDa Detective Agency.
