1743, and the tanners of Preston are a pariah community, plying
their unwholesome trade beside a stretch of riverside marsh where
many Prestonians by ancient right graze their livestock. When the
body of a newborn child is found in one of their tanning pits,
Cragg's enquiry falls foul of a cabal of merchants, dead set on
modernising the town's economy and regarding the despised tanners -
and Cragg's apparent championship of them - as obstacles to their
plan. The murder of a baby is just the evidence they need to get
rid of the tanners once and for all. But the inquest into the
baby's death is disrupted when the inn in which it is being held
mysteriously burns down. Then Cragg himself faces a charge of
lewdness, jeopardising his whole future as a coroner. But the fates
have not finished playing with him just yet. The sudden and
suspicious death of a very prominent person may just, with the help
of Fidelis's sharp forensic skills, bring about Cragg's
redemption...
