The Lost Abbot

Description

In medieval Cambridge, physician Matthew Bartholomew and his companion, Brother Michael, are drawn into a dangerous investigation when an abbot vanishes under mysterious circumstances. As they follow a trail of violence, secrets, and conflicting loyalties, they encounter powerful figures determined to keep the truth buried. Set against the richly evoked world of fourteenth-century England, this atmospheric mystery explores faith, ambition, corruption, and the uneasy relationship between the Church and the university. Susanna Gregory combines meticulous historical detail with a gripping, suspenseful plot and sharply observed characters.
