It was a task Abbot Radulfus kept jealously to himself in the ordinary way, for he was proud of his roses, and valued the brief moments he could spend with them, but in three more days the house would be celebrating the anniversary of the translation of Saint Winifred to her shrine in the church, and the preparations for the annual influx of pilgrims and patrons were occupying all of his time. 1143.

Gerberto lo aprovecha para oponerse a la inhumación. Las maniobras de Gerberto encuentran apoyo cuando descubre que también Elave se hace reflexiones que aquél considera heterodoxas. Además, la grave acusación de Gerberto está reforzada por el testimonio de Fotunata, una doncella enamorada de Elave. A estos acontecimientos, inesperadamente, los acompaña un asesinato.

William's body is accompanied by his young attendant Elave, whose mission is to secure a burial place for his master on the abbey grounds, despite William's having once been reprimanded for heretical views. An already difficult task is complicated when Elave drunkenly expresses his own heretical opinions, and capital charges are filed. When a violent death follows, Sheriff Hugh Beringar taps his friend Brother Cadfael for help. The mystery that unfolds grows deeper thanks to a mysterious and marvelous treasure chest in Elave's care. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
