In 1358, over a century after its foundation in Cambridge, the
college of Michaelhouse is facing a serious shortfall of funds and
competition from upstarts rivals such as Zachary Hostel. Their
problems are made no easier by the hostility of the town's
inhabitants who favour the university moving away to the Fens. This
simmering tension threatens to break into violence when a
well-known tradesman is found dead in one of the colleges. Matthew
Bartholomew knows he was poisoned but cannot identify the actual
substance, never mind the killer. He also worries that other
illnesses and deaths may have been caused by the effluent from his
sister's dye works. Torn between loyalties to his kin and to his
college, he fears the truth may destroy both his personal and
professional life, but he knows he must use his skills as a
physician to discover the truth before many more lose their lives
entirely.
