The Abbot’s Great Sacrifice by David Bird

The Abbot’s Great Sacrifice by David Bird is the eighth collection of stories featuring the bridge-crazy monks of St Titus.

A team of attractive girls arrives at St Titus, playing unexpectedly well and unsettling the monastery novices. A disastrous start sends the Abbot to the bottom row of a Swiss Teams, where he receives unwelcome advice from Josie Threlfall, a local teacher of the game.
