Englishwoman Edith Pargeter wasn’t a historian by training, but under the pen name Ellis Peters she created one of the most popular detective series—tightly linked to major historical events that shook 12th-century England and Wales, from where Pargeter’s ancestors came.
“The Chronicles of Brother Cadfael” is both a political detective story—because it unfolds against the backdrop of the civil war between the supporters of the legitimate claimant to Queen Matilda’s throne and King Stephen of Blois, who seized the throne by force—and classic, intimate stories that happen among the residents of the town of Shrewsbury and its surroundings, as well as among the inhabitants of the Benedictine abbey in Shrewsbury. It was here, in the autumn of his years, that an old crusader retired—an experienced soldier who, having taken the name Brother Cadfael, decided to live out the rest of his days peacefully, serving God and healing people. But instead, Cadfael—an astute connoisseur of human souls and a man with a wealth of life experience—repeatedly has to investigate all kinds of crimes.
In the sixth volume of the Chronicles, Brother Cadfael is asked to take care of a victim of marauders roaming the area. Why did they attack this man, and what does his feverish rambling conceal? A savage massacre will be the key to the mystery of a missing trio that fled the village—yet never reached their destination. Cadfael sets off on a dangerous journey to find them. But the snowy road will lead him to another cold and terrible murder…
