With the city of Exeter ravaged by an outbreak of the 'yellow
plague', Sir John de Wolfe, the county coroner, must divide his
time between visiting his sick brother, William, who has been
struck down by the disease, and dealing with a series of brutal
murders which appears to be linked to a revival of heresy in the
city. When some of the cathedral canons begin a crusade against
this danger to the Church, Sir John finds himself accused of being
too sympathetic to the heretics, bringing him into conflict with
the ecclesiastic authorities. As the situation worsens, the coroner
must seek sanctuary in order to save his skin. Can he survive long
enough to unmask the real killer?
