It's morning service in a quiet village church, Josie Welford, wealthy widow of one of the country's most wanted criminals and now licensee of the White Hart gastro-pub, is day-dreaming during the sermon. Suddenly the peace is shattered when a filthy Chinese youth flings himself into the church and demands sanctuary.
Should the Church accede to the request for protection that no longer has legal standing? Or should Tang be handed over to the authorities? Many fear for the boy's life; Tang is almost certainly an illegal immigrant whose gang-masters would rather have dead than able to betray them. It's not long before the media are involved, the subsequent publicity bringing fatal results.
In a breathtaking climax, Josie summons long-forgotten skills to run the master criminals to earth and prevent a hideous execution.
