Ellis Peters: St. Peter's Fair |
From the Publisher: Until, that is, the body of a wealthy merchant is found murdered in the river Severn. Was Thomas of Bristol the victim of murderous thieves? And, if so, why were his valuables abandoned nearby? . Brother Cadfael offers to help the merchant's lovely niece, Emma. But while he is searching for the killer, the dead man's wares are ransacked and two more men are murdered. Emma almost certainly knows more than she is telling, as others will soon realize. Cadfael desperately races to save the young girl, knowing that in a country at war with itself, betrayal can come from any direction, and even good intentions can kill. Ellis Peters: St. Peter's Fair. The Fourth of Brother Cadfael. Warner Books, ISBN: 0446403016 (November, 1992), $6.99.
