It’s 1321 and Lady Elizabeth of Topsham, prioress
of St Mary’s, is fighting to retain her position in the face
of an accusation from Sister Margherita, the treasurer, that she has
given much-needed funds to the new vicar, a man she often sees alone
- at night. Many of the nuns are convinced that Margherita would make
a better prioress - especially now a young nun has been found murdered
on her sickbed. Sir Baldwin Furnshill, Keeper of the King’s Peace,
together with his old friend Bailiff Simon Puttock, are summoned to
investigate and when a second nun is murdered, they find themselves
facing their most difficult case yet. |
