It's January 1144. Bradecote is about to remarry after the death of his frxt wife. His new lady, Christina, decides to go on a pilgrimage to the shrine of St Eadgyth at Polesworth, in the company of the Archbishop of Canterbury's envoy and his entourage of Benedictine monks. Should be a safe way to travel. right? Unfortunately not. The monks are kidnapped by a dangerous psychopath who wants to exchange them for a forger locked up in the sheriff's prison. Unfortunately the sheriff won't give in to their demands, so Bradecote and Catchpoll have to find the kidnapped monks and rescue Christina before the psychopath does his worst, and preferably before Bradecote cracks under the pressure.
