In harvest time of 1436, Joliffe's troupe leader falls,
leaving his players to find what work they can while he
recovers. Joliffe finds work in a hospital where he
unfortunately has to deal with Mistress Cisily
Thorncoffyn, a widow expecting to be endlessly waited on
for her mostly imaginary ailments.
When patients begin mysteriously dying, Mistress
Thorncoffyn loudly insists that someone is trying to kill
her. With so many suspects wishing her ill, if not
outright dead, Joliffe has no choice but to find out whose
anger has turned to murderous hatred and whether-having
missed their target-they mean to try again...
