Some edge wear and chipping to top and bottom of jacket and spine, spine slightly faded, very slight lean, not price clipped (£4.50), no inscriptions, internally clean and tight, overall a vg++ copy. 192pp. The second Brother Cadfael mystery. In the summer of 1138, war between King Stephen and the Empress Maud takes Brother Cadfael from the quiet world of his garden to the bloody battlefield. Not far from the safety of the Abbey walls, Shrewsbury Castle falls, leaving its ninety four defenders loyal to the empress to hang as traitors. With a heavy heart Brother Cadfael agrees to bury the dead, only to make a grisly discovery ninety five bodies lie in a row, and the extra corpse tells Cadfael that the killer is both clever and ruthless. But one death among so many seems unimportant to all but the good Benedictine. He vows to find the truth behind disparate clues, a girl in boys' clothing, a missing treasure, and a single broken flower, the tiny bit of evidence that Cadfael believes can most easily expose a murderer's black heart. Very scarce in this first UK edition. Seller Inventory # 005812
