A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Eighteen years before, confesses Brother Haluin, he had been responsible for the death of the girl he loved and the baby she was to bear. Now, after a near-miraculous escape from death, he wants nothing more than to beg the forgiveness of Bertrade's mother, Adelais de Clary, and do penance for his sins. But Haluin's mission brings death in its wake, for Bertrade de Clary's secrets were not hers alone and, even now, the revelation of them would bring shame and condemnation.

Brother Cadfael, sent to nurse Haluin, turns detective once again with a murderer to bring to justice.
