Brother Cadfael of the Benedictine monastery at Shrewsbury has established himself in three previous adventures. In the year 11 39 AD his stewardship of the monastery gardens is again interrupted by a death and a mystery. Again Cadfael is obliged to turn detective. Saint Peter's Fair is an annual event at Shrewsbury, a great commercial and social celebration. Merchants and buyers come from far afield, from Bristol and even the continent, to do their business |
