Description
A Murder in a Holy Place: Brother Athelstan Investigates In 1381, a gruesome murder takes place at St Benet's church in Queenhithe. Parson Reynaud is found stabbed to death inside his own locked church, with other disturbing discoveries including an empty coffin and a ransacked money chest. As Brother Athelstan delves into the case, he uncovers a complex web of secrets and lies that lead him to the dark world of London's gangmaster, The Flesher. The investigation is further complicated by the death of one of Athelstan's parishioners, who reveals a shocking secret. Can Athelstan connect the dots between these seemingly unrelated events? With tensions running high, Athelstan must navigate the treacherous landscape of medieval London to uncover the truth. As the case unfolds, Athelstan is drawn into a world of corruption and violence, where the line between good and evil is constantly blurred. Will he be able to solve the mystery before it's too late?
