| The Seventeenth Chronicle of Brother Cadfael, of the Benedictine Abbey of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, at Shrewsbury. In October of 1142, a local landlord makes a present of the Potter’s Field to the local clergy. Shortly afterward the Benedictine monks begin to plow it. The plow turns up the long raven tresses of a young woman, dead a year or more; even Brother Cadfael, herbalist and student of medicine, cannot say how long. An intricate mystery with a most sensational and unexpected outcome. |
