Im Angesicht des Todes äußert Charlie Wilson einen letzten Wunsch. Kurz vor seiner Hinrichtung vertraut er Pater Brown an, dass er zu Unrecht wegen Mordes verurteilt wurde. Der Geistliche soll Charlies Mutter eigentlich bloß eine Nachricht überbringen, doch das Schicksal des jungen Mannes lässt ihn nicht los. Wenn der wahre Täter noch auf freiem Fuß ist, muss ihm das Handwerk gelegt werden. Und so geht Pater Brown in dem kleinen Städtchen Hanborow auf Spurensuche und begibt sich damit selbst in höchste Gefahr.

In einem einsam gelegenen Gasthaus feiern vier ehemalige Schulkameraden nach vielen Jahren ihr Wiedersehen. Sie erleben jedoch eine unangenehme Überraschung als sie feststellen, dass auch ihr alter Schulmeister Longford hierhergekommen ist. Schon bald werden längst vergessen geglaubte Ereignisse wieder brandaktuell und fordern kurz darauf ein erstes Mordopfer. Als das Gasthaus dann auch noch durch einen Schneesturm von der Außenwelt abgeschnitten wird, eskalieren die Ereignisse. Im Schutz der Dunkelheit geht ein Mörder um.

Eine Dame meldet sich nicht mehr. Pater Brown reist auf Bitten seiner Nachbarin nach Cornwall, wo die Vermisste in einem Sanatorium gearbeitet hat. Mit Hilfe der jungen Lucy Paxton startet er seine Recherchen und macht kurz darauf eine grausige Entdeckung. Ab diesem Zeitpunkt scheint niemand in dem Sanatorium hoch über Manderley Cove mehr sicher zu sein. Die Legende der schwarzen Nonne ist plötzlich wieder in aller Munde, und tatsächlich wird die geisterhafte Erscheinung gleich von mehreren Personen gesehen.

Pater Brown ist zu Besuch in Irland. Er verweilt gerade in einem Nonnenkloster, dessen Äbtissin eine alte Bekannte ist, als er Zeuge einer schrecklichen Tragödie wird. Die junge Schwester Sophia stirbt beim Sturz vom Glockenturm. Die Polizei geht von einem Selbstmord aus, ganz im Gegensatz zu Brown. Bei seinen Nachforschungen kommt der Pater einem Geheimnis auf die Spur, das den Tod der Nonne schnell in einem anderen Licht erscheinen lässt.
