Master Hugh, Kate, and their children attend the Midsummer's Eve
fire. Next morning early Hugh hears the passing bell ring from the
Church of St. Beornwald, and moments later is summoned. Tenants
collecting the ashes to spread upon their fields have found burned
bones. Master Hugh learns of several men of Bampton and nearby
villages who have gone missing recently. Most are soon found, some
alive, some dead. Master Hugh eventually learns that the bones are
those of a bailiff from a nearby manor. Someone has slain him and
placed his body in the fire to destroy evidence of murder. Bailiffs
are not popular men; they dictate labour service, collect rents,
and enforce other obligations. Has this bailiff died at the hand of
some angry tenant? Hugh soon discovers this is not the case. There
is quite another reason for murder ...
