Mystery Historical
It is the autumn of 1278. The harvest is in. The air is
crisp. Dusty summer breathes a last sigh before the dark
seasons arrive. For Prioress Eleanor, dark times arrive early in Norfolk.
The head of her order, Abbess Isabeau, has sent Father
Etienne Davoir from its headquarters in France to inspect
all aspects of Tyndal Priory from its morals to its roofs.
Surely the Abbess would not have chosen her own brother for
this rare and thorough investigation unless the cause was
serious and she had reason to fear intervention from Rome.
Prioress Eleanor knows something is terribly amiss. The situation turns calamitous when Davoir’s sick clerk dies
from a potion sent by Sister Anne, Tyndale’s
sub-infirmarian. Is Sister Anne guilty of simple
incompetence—or murder? Or, Davoir asks, did Prioress
Eleanor order the death to frighten him away before he
discovered the truth behind accusations she is unfit for her
position? When Davoir himself is threatened, the priest
roars for justice. Even expectant father Crowner Ralf, the
local representative of the king’s justice, has lost all
objectivity. The most likely suspects are Anne, the woman
Ralf once loved, the prioress he respects, and the Tyndal
monk, Thomas, who is his closest friend. Who among the
French and English assembled at Tyndal has succumbed to
Satan's lullaby?
