For the twentieth anniversary of the start of the Matthew
Bartholomew series, Sphere is delighted to reissue all of the
medieval monk's cases with beautiful new series-style covers.
------------------------------------ The winter of 1353 has been
appallingly wet, there is a fever outbreak amongst the poorer
townspeople and the country is not yet fully recovered from the
aftermath of the plague. The increasing reputation and wealth of
the Cambridge colleges are causing dangerous tensions between the
town, Church and University. Matthew Bartholomew is called to look
into the deaths of three members of the University of who died from
drinking poisoned wine, and soon he stumbles upon criminal
activities that implicate his relatives, friends and colleagues -
so he must solve the case before matters in the town get out of
hand... In February 1355, amid the worst snows in living memory,
two well-born murderers return to Cambridge after receiving the
King's pardon - but they show no remorse, and are in fact ready to
confront those who helped convict them. When Matthew Bartholomew is
called to the local mill to examine two corpses, he and Brother
Michael know who to question, but in the fledgling university city,
nothing is ever as straightforward as it seems...
