Description
In medieval Cambridge, the proposed foundation of a lavish new college deepens the already bitter divide between the university scholars and the townspeople. When physician Matthew Bartholomew intervenes to save a condemned felon and violent crime suddenly escalates across the region, suspicion and resentment threaten to erupt into open conflict. Then the Junior Proctor is killed by an arrow just as the college seeks its official charter, leaving Bartholomew and his ally Brother Michael to uncover the truth before accusations of murder ignite a wider war. Rich in historical detail and suspense, this compelling mystery explores power, privilege, and the dangerous tensions between town and gown.
