Description
Christmas Eve, 1176. A night prayer bell rings out, but silence falls instead. Brother Maurice, a monk at Fairmore Abbey, stumbles upon his fellow brother Cuthbert's lifeless body in the darkness. A murder investigation unfolds as clerk to the King's justices, Aelred Barling, and his messenger Hugo Stanton arrive at the isolated monastery on the Yorkshire Moors. They soon discover that this is no ordinary monastic house, but a hotbed of bitter feuds, rivalries, and resentments. As they dig deeper, the killer strikes again, leaving the investigators with a daunting task: to unmask the culprit before more lives are lost. With each new discovery, Barling and Stanton realize that the murderer's rampage is far from over. Can they unravel the tangled web of motives and uncover the truth behind these brutal killings?
