In the middle of the abbey's evening services, an angry mob pursues a young boy into the sacred peace of the sanctuary. Terrified and in tatters, he clutches at the altar-cloth, grasping for mercy in the only sure place he might find it. He is accused of robbery and murder, but Cadfael senses his innocence and sets out to prove it.Solve another medieval mystery with Brother Cadfael.©1983 Ellis Peters (P)1993 Recorded Books, LLC Historical Mystery Traditional Detectives Fiction Detective

It is also a terrifically well crafted love story and murder mystery, both at once!

The reader’s voice and capacity to render each character individually was remarkable.

On, to Chronicle Eight! I mean to read them all, and I heartily recommend them. The writing is dense with delicious details that flesh out the life and time to which the wonderful narration transports you.
Murders to solve! Subplots and clues abound. Let us go forth with haste!

A toxic family's actions leads to an innocent young man seeking sanctuary at the Abbey. Of course Brother Cadfael is in the thick of the matter. He and Hugh Beringar hunt the real culprits and it's an ugly story of displacement, greed, and lack of appreciation within one family. Exciting, intense, a sad ending, and a new beginning.
