"Gripping and believable...you can almost smell the streets of
14th-century York as you delve deeper into an engrossing plot."
--PRIMA In the year of our Lord 1369 the much-loved Queen Philippa
lies dying in Windsor Castle, the harvest has failed, and the
pestilence has returned. In York, the atmosphere of fear and
superstition is heightened by a series of thefts and violent deaths
at St. Leonard's Hospital, as well as rumors that these crimes are
connected to the hospital's dwindling funds. The Master of St.
Leonard's, Sir Richard Ravenser, hurries north from the queen's
deathbed to summon Owen Archer, soldier-spy, to investigate the
scandal before it ruins him. While his wife Lucie faces the
plague-panicked townsfolk at the apothecary, Owen encounters a
seemingly random series of clues: a riddle posed by one of the
victims at the hospital, a lay sister with a scandalous past, the
kidnapping of a child from the hospital orphanage, and a case of
arson. The answer to the riddle of St. Leonard's lies in the past,
and as Owen's family is caught up in the sweep of the pestilence,
he must abandon them to race across the countryside to save the
next victim.
