Winner of the CWA Best Historical Crime Novel of the Year 'Great
fun! Franklin succeeds in vividly bringing the 12th century to life
with this cracking good story' KATE MOSSE Medieval England. A
hideous murder. Enter the first female anatomist... Adelia Aguilar
is a rare thing in medieval Europe - a woman who has trained as a
doctor. Her speciality is the study of corpses, a skill that must
be concealed if she is to avoid accusations of witchcraft. But in
Cambridge a child has been murdered, others are disappearing, and
King Henry has called upon a renowned Italian investigator to find
the killer - fast. What the king gets is Adelia, his very own
Mistress of the Art of Death. The investigation takes Adelia deep
into Cambridge; its castle and convents, and streets teeming with
life. And it is here that she attracts the attention of a murderer
who is prepared to kill again... 'Exhilarating... I want to crown
Ariana Franklin Queen of the Historical Mystery!' TESS GERRITSEN

enthralling' ***** 'JUST what I want from a historical detective
novel . . . The storytelling is phenomenal' *****
