Description

In medieval Cambridge, physician Matthew Bartholomew is drawn into a perilous investigation when a series of suspicious deaths threatens to expose the darker secrets of the university and the town. As fear, superstition, and political rivalry spread alongside disease, Bartholomew must rely on his medical knowledge and keen powers of observation to uncover the truth. Rich in historical detail and atmosphere, this gripping mystery explores the tensions between science and faith, scholarship and ambition, while bringing fourteenth-century Cambridge vividly to life.
