A local lord asks him to track the killer of a young woman whose bones have been found in the castle cess pit.

From there the tale unfolds, with graphic medical procedures, droll medieval wit, misdirection, ambition, romantic distractions and a consistent underlying Christian compassion. ISBN: 9781854248855.
