Description
The fire-damaged cathedral becomes the scene of an unholy, grotesque murder. ***** Easter of 1177. Canterbury Cathedral, which houses the tomb of the martyr Saint Thomas Becket, still bears the marks of a terrible fire. Benedict, the head of the local church, oversees its reconstruction. However, the work is interrupted by a horrific act. One of the stonemasons is found brutally murdered, and the dead man's face is additionally disfigured by a shocking blow. ***** When the king's official Aelred Barling and his assistant Hugo Stanton arrive on a pilgrimage to the tomb, the prior orders them to investigate this monstrous crime. ***** However, the murderous beast soon claims another victim – and then another. While the local religious community begins to descend into panic, the pair of investigators desperately tries to find a connection between the murders. ***** Can Barling and Stanton catch the culprit in an atmosphere of growing panic before evil strikes again – and stop him before he comes for them too?
