In the twelfth century, merchants gather at a summertime fair-but
when one of them is found dead in a river, a crime-solving monk
must step in. St. Peter's Fair is a grand, festive event,
attracting merchants from across England and beyond. There is a
pause in the civil war racking the country in the summer of 1139,
and the fair promises to bring some much-needed gaiety to the town
of Shrewsbury-until the body of a wealthy merchant is found
murdered in the river Severn. Was Thomas of Bristol the victim of
murderous thieves? And, if so, why were his valuables abandoned
nearby? Brother Cadfael, that shrewd but kindly monk, offers to
help the merchant's lovely niece Emma. But while he is searching
for the killer, Thomas of Bristol's wares are ransacked and two
more men are murdered. Emma almost certainly knows more than she is
telling-as others will soon realize. Cadfael desperately races to
save the young girl, knowing that in a country at war with itself,
betrayal can come from any direction, and even good intentions can
kill.
