Books by Ellis Peters

Past misdeeds find present and deadly reckonings in the third chronicle of Brother Cadfael, Ellis Peters' marvellously created medieval detective.

1138, England. Tronstridighederne raser mellem kong Stephen og kejserinde Maud, og broder Cadfael kan ikke længere gemme sig i sin urtehave, da krigen banker på klostrets mure. Han må selv tage del i fejden. Ikke langt fra Shrewsbury Slot hænger 94 af kejserinde Mauds loyale soldater, dræbt for forræderi. Med tungt hjerte indvilger broder Cadfael i at begrave de døde, kun for at gøre et ubehageligt fund: et mystisk lig, som ikke er blevet hængt, men kvalt. Cadfael sætter sig for at søge sandheden om det mistænkelige lig, men han har kun få ledetråde: en pige klædt i drengetøj, en forsvundet skat og en ødelagt blomst. Men er det nok til at komme på sporet af den nådesløse morder?

Winifreds. Men i Wales møder munkene stor modstand fra lokalbefolkningen.Da udgravningens største modstander findes død med en mystisk pil boret i brystet, begynder spekulationerne at røre på sig. Har selveste Skt. Winifred ført pilen? Broder Cadfael ved bedre, men han må bruge alt sit vid for at udpege den sande morder.
