Doctor Syn

Beneath the placid surface of Dymchurch-under-the-wall, a seemingly sleepy fishing village, lurks a dangerous secret. When a King's frigate docks, its captain determined to root out the rampant smuggling plaguing the coast, the unassuming Vicar Doctor Syn, his loyal sexton Mipps, and the eccentric villagers find their quiet lives irrevocably disrupted. But as the King's men dig deeper, a series of gruesome murders and a deepening conspiracy hint that Dymchurch's inhabitants, particularly its mild-mannered vicar, are far more than they appear.
