The Raven In The Foregate : 12, Paperback / softback Book

The Raven In The Foregate : 12 Paperback / softback

Part of the Cadfael Chronicles series

Paperback / softback

Description

In a mild December in the year of our Lord 1141, a new priest comes to the parishoners of the Foregate outside the Abbey of Saint Peter and Saint Paul.

Father Ailnoth brings with him a housekeeper and her nephew- and a disposition that invites murder.

Brother Cadfael quickly sees that Father Ailnoth is a harsh man who behaves like a doom-saying raven.

The housekeeper's nephew, Benet, is quite different, a smiling lad, a hard worker in Cadfael's herb garden but, as Brother Cadfael soon discovers, an impostor. And when Ailnoth is found drowned, suspicion falls on Benet, though many in the Foregate had cause to want the priest dead.

Now Brother Cadfael is gathering clues along with his medicinals to treat a case of unholy passions, tragic politics, and perhaps divine intervention.
