Description
ANOTHER HISTORICAL DETECTIVE NOVEL WITH THE LEGENDARY BROTHER CADFAEL IN THE LEAD ROLE... ***** It is the year 1138. King Stephen has just seized power over England at the expense of his cousin Matilda and punishes anyone who stood by her side. The disaster does not spare the town of Shrewsbury, where a verdict is pronounced over ninety-four rebels. ***** The task of providing for the dead falls to Brother Cadfael, a herbalist monk from the local Benedictine monastery, who soon discovers that there are ninety-five corpses – one is therefore unaccounted for. From that moment, Cadfael embarks on an adventurous search for both the cunning murderer and the treasure of the rebel nobleman FitzAlan. ***** He receives a loyal assistant in the form of young Godith, who must hide in the monastery from the king's henchmen due to her affiliation with the family of Stephen's opponents, as well as from her mysterious and cunning fiancé. Could he be the murderer? Or someone else from the king's entourage?
