Description
It is Christmas Eve in the year 1176. Brother Maurice, a monk from the Fairmore Abbey, is waiting for the bell to ring for night prayer. However, the bell does not sound. Maurice curses the laziness of his brother Cuthbert and sets out to find him – only to discover him brutally murdered in the darkness. ***** From London, a royal court official, Aelred Barling, is sent to the remote monastery in the midst of the Yorkshire moors, accompanied by messenger Hugo Stanton, to investigate this terrible crime. They quickly realize that the monastery is far from a paradise of peaceful spiritual contemplation. It is boiling with bitter hatred, rivalry, and animosity. But just as Barling and Stanton arrive on the scene, the killer strikes again – and not for the last time. ***** When Barling uncovers the pattern behind these atrocities, it becomes clear that the murderous rampage is far from over. Everyone's life is now at stake, including that of the investigators. Will Barling and Stanton manage to uncover the culprit before more blood is shed?
