Description
The Chancellor's Secret: A gripping mystery set in 14th-century Cambridge. In 1360, tensions are running high in Cambridge as the town and University face a crisis over the Great Bridge's repairs. Brother Michael is the favourite to become the new Chancellor, but one of his opponents will stop at nothing to claim the post by fair means or foul. When a body is discovered under the bridge and two scholars go missing, Matthew Bartholomew - the University's Corpse Examiner - must navigate a complex web of corruption and deceit. As Matthew struggles to balance his duties as a scholar with his impending marriage, he finds himself at the centre of a sinister plot that threatens not just the town but also those he cares about. With time running out, can he uncover the truth behind the Chancellor's Secret before it's too late?
