AN UNEXPLAINED SPATE OF DEATHS CAUSES SUSPICION...ARE THEY
ACCIDENTAL OR METICULOUSLY PLANNED? 1369: The much loved Queen
Philippa lies dying at Windsor, and the plague has returned to the
city of York. In an atmosphere of fear and superstition, rumours
spread that a spate of deaths at St Leonard's Hospital in York is
no accident. The hospital is in debt and has suffered thefts: Sir
Richard de Ravenser, Master of the Hospital, returns from
Winchester painfully aware that scandal could ruin his own career.
Anxious to avert a crisis, he requests the services of Owen Archer,
spy for the Archbishop. With plague rife and the city's inhabitants
besieging his wife, the Apothecary, for new cures, Owen Archer is
unwilling to become involved. There is too little to link the
victims to each other: the riddle seems unsolvable. But careful
enquiries reveal a further riddle, connected to one of the victims.
Is this where the truth lies?
