Hugh of Singleton, fourth son of a minor knight, has been educated
as a clerk, usually a prelude to taking holy orders. However,
feeling no certain calling despite a lively faith, he turns to the
profession of surgeon, training in Paris and then hanging out his
sign in Oxford. A local lord asks him to track the killer of a
young woman whose bones have been found in the castle cess pit. She
is identified as the impetuous missing daughter of a local
blacksmith, and her young man, whom she had provoked very publicly,
is in due course arrested and sentenced at the Oxford assizes. From
there the tale unfolds, with graphic medical procedures, droll
medieval wit, misdirection, ambition, romantic distractions and a
consistent underlying Christian compassion.
