Description
Sherborne in 1436 was a quarrelsome town, with tensions simmering between the townspeople and the Abbot over the narrowing of the entrance to Allhallows, the chapel-of-ease attached to the Abbey. A young man's murder in the Lady Chapel sets off a chain of events that draws amateur sleuth Matthias Barton into the investigation. As strange deaths occur, Matthias begins to unravel the complex web of relationships and rivalries within the town. With each new discovery, he gets closer to uncovering the truth behind the murders. But as the stakes rise, Matthias must confront his own limitations and the darker aspects of human nature. In this gripping historical thriller, a small town's secrets are slowly revealed, exposing a tangled network of lies and deceit that lead to a shocking conclusion.
