Description
The winter of 1353 has been appallingly wet. A fever outbreak amongst the poorer townspeople and the country is still recovering from the aftermath of the plague. Tensions between the town, Church, and University are escalating due to the increasing reputation and wealth of the Cambridge colleges. A series of mysterious deaths at the University of Michaelhouse sets off a chain of events that threatens to destroy the fragile balance of power in the college. As Matthew Bartholomew investigates, he uncovers a web of deceit and corruption that implicates his relatives, friends, and colleagues. With the help of Brother Michael, Proctor of the university, Matthew must solve the case before it's too late. As the investigation unfolds, Matthew faces a daunting task: to uncover the truth behind the murders and prevent further destruction at Michaelhouse.
