Death Of The Anchorite: Murder and mystery in medieval England (The Draychester Chronicles Book 3 - middle ages crime) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798598519813)

A mysterious killer is on the rampage. Make no mistake, the countryside can be a deadly place in late 14th century England, but who would dare target the village anchorite? After all, wouldn't it be a deadly sin? Harm those devoutly religious women, walled up for life inside a cell in the village church, and face eternal damnation...only an angry, desperate man could be persuaded to carry out such evil...

The countryside is in an uproar, in the local cathedral city of Draychester, Bishop Gifford is angry and baffled. Events are spiralling out of control. Young Will Blackburne, bishop's official, and his companions Bernard and Osbert are swiftly dispatched to investigate.

But perhaps all isn't quite as it seems, a shadowy figure from within the city guides the killer's actions, bringing events closer to home than anyone can predict ...except perhaps the great cathedral's own anchorite, Dame Dorothy, famous for her visions of the future, who dreams of death and destruction... the killer must be stopped, his evil master thwarted and Dorothy saved...
