The crabbed handwriting on a scrap of folded parchment clutched in the dead mans fingers is deciphered as a quotation from the Gospel according to St Mark "And Jesus went into the temple. . .and overthrew the tables of the money-changers" Setting out to track down a literate and Bible-learned killer, Sir John deduces that he is looking for a homicidal priest.
