The Sleeping Witness

“This exciting murder mystery set in a peaceful English village has a satisfyingly tangled story, and its uncannily perceptive detective, an aging Benedictine monk, is always one step ahead of the police.” —Lucy Beckett, Author, A Postcard from the Volcano

“This marvelous mystery is not a formulaic reworking of an established genre but a wonderful work of detective fiction in its own right. I hope that this lovable Benedictine detective might have many more mysteries to solve in the future. More of the same please!” —Joseph Pearce, Author, Literary Converts

“De Maria’s clear and confident writing produces a ‘can’t put it down’ effect. This story will stay with you for a long time.” —Michael Richard, Author, Tobit’s Dog
