Synopsis

It is A.D. 791, and Hring, serving as a spy in the guise of a rat catcher, is caught up in a bizarre mystery within the confines of an abbey: a series of gruesome deaths that appear to be committed by a revenant. The restless spirit is only targeting the members of the abbey, draining blood from his victims. Hring must confront his own fears, and his compromised beliefs in a world of spirits, in order to stop the ghostly monk from killing again.

À propos de l'auteur

Charles Barnitz is an accomplished author who has published stories in The Denver Quarterly and The Madison Review, and had a chapter of his novel, Mummers, anthologized in the Signet Classic Book of Contemporary American Short Stories. Many of his stories follow Hring, an eighth-century former monk, now serving as an assistant advocate in the courts of the Mercian province of Elmet. He is out to see balance restored, even if it takes a little creative interpretation of the law to bring the guilty men to the rope.
