Now thou art come unto a feast of death, A terrible and
unavoided danger. I Henry VI Fresh from a six-month sojourn in Italy, Lady Julia returns
home to Sussex to find her father's estate crowded with
family and friends--but dark deeds are afoot at the
deconsecrated abbey, and a murderer roams the ancient
cloisters. Much to her surprise, the one man she had hoped to forget--
the enigmatic and compelling Nicholas Brisbane--is among
her father's house guests...and he is not alone. Not to be
outdone, Julia shows him that two can play at flirtation
and promptly introduces him to her devoted, younger, titled
Italian count. But the homecoming celebrations quickly take a ghastly turn
when one of the guests is found brutally murdered in the
chapel, and a member of Lady Julia's own family confesses
to the crime. Certain of her cousin's innocence, Lady Julia
resumes her unlikely and deliciously intriguing partnership
with Nicholas Brisbane, setting out to unravel a tangle of
deceit before the killer can strike again. When a sudden
snowstorm blankets the abbey like a shroud, it falls to
Lady Julia and Nicholas Brisbane to answer the shriek of
murder most foul. With a captivating cast of characters in a remarkably
imaginative setting, Silent in the Sanctuary is a marvelous
sequel to the evocative Silent in the Grave
