Description
WHEN ONE DISAPPEARS AND ANOTHER DIES, THE TIME OF BROTHER CADFAEL ARRIVES... It is the year 1142. The ongoing civil war, sparked by disputes between King Stephen and Empress Matilda, plagues England, but in the Benedictine abbey of St. Peter and St. Paul in Shrewsbury, there is – at least for now – peace. The circumstances change with the death of Lord Ludel of Eaton, whose son Richard is studying under the monastery's protection. However, his grandmother Dionisie insists that he should take up his inheritance now and best multiply it through an arranged marriage. What does it matter that the boy is only ten years old... Richard defies his grandmother with the support of Abbot Radulfus. Yet, the hermit Cuthred and his young servant Hyacinth, who befriends Richard, become entangled in the matter. When Richard suddenly goes missing and the body of a foreign nobleman is found in Eyton Forest, Brother Cadfael must once again use his knowledge of human nature to track down the cold-blooded murderer.
