What do a desperate woman with a secret, a dead man in a drainage
ditch and a dark figure in the night have in common?
Physician-sleuth Dr Gabriel Taverner has to connect the dots before
time runs out in this thrilling historical mystery. February, 1605.
A series of killings shake the quiet life of Devon's Tavy valley.
Country doctor Gabriel Taverner, summoned by the coroner to examine
the bodies, believes that the murders are somehow connected to the
mysterious woman recently discovered in shocking circumstances.
Gabriel is determined to solve the mystery, and soon uncovers clues
that link his unexpected patient to the brutal killings. Prominent
among them is the strange and recurring theme of nutmegs. A
precious spice from far-flung islands in a distant sea and already
in demand, its high cost is increasing daily since the rumour has
spread that it is a cure for the plague . . . Gabriel finds himself
caught in a deadly rivalry involving a greater prize and more
ruthless players than he could have imagined. Fighting to protect
his family and friends from dangerous involvement in this savage
race, will he be able to emerge alive? This is the fifth book in
the Gabriel Taverner mystery series and will appeal to readers who
enjoy rural settings, head-scratching puzzles and nautical
adventures.
