"The year is 1138. King Stephen and his cousin the Empress Maud are caught in a bitter struggle for the British crown. When Stephen finally captures the castle of Shrewsbury, one of Maud's few remaining hold-outs, his victory is a bloody one. Ninety-four prisoners, the surviving defenders of the Empress's castle, are taken. And ninety-four are hanged. Brother Cadfael of the nearby Abbey of St. Peter and St. Paul is called upon to give a decent burial to the dead. But before they can reach their final resting place, Cadfael discovers an extra corpse. This is no soldier-the ninety-fifth body is that of a youth, killed by a knife to his pale throat. An amateur detective with no small share of courage, Cadfael is determined to identify the young man-and his murderer. For help he has a lovely young fugitive with her own supply of bravery, and together they set out to solve this charming and suspenseful mystery."--BOOK COVER.

When world-famous singer Maggie Tressider crashes her car on the way to a concert, she wakes up in hospital, dazed, in post-operative shock- and haunted. From some secret place in her subconscious arises the awful conviction that somehow, at some point in the past, she has been responsible for a death. The only way to lay the nameless spectre is to confront it face to face. A psychiatrist, her doctor suggests. But Maggie chooses a very different expert to find the truth for her. Her commission launches private investigator Francis Killian on a hunt across Europe in search of a grave. But the trail also leads to one Bunty Felse, former colleague of Maggie’s and wife of Inspector Felse. The successful end of Killian’s search is only the beginning of a long pilgrimage for them all- a journey which leads her not only back to the past but to a remote corner of the Austrian alps, where many frontiers touch and many trails cross. And some of them end- with murder.
