England, 1268. Falconer leaves Oxford to examine scientific manuscripts associated with Robert Grosseteste at a remote priory beside Lancaster Bay. His arrival coincides with the recovery of a monk’s skeleton from the tidal sands, revealing a murder concealed for fifteen years.

Missing books, monastic ambition and a new killing suggest that the old crime remains dangerous. While Falconer investigates within the priory, Ann Segrim and Peter Bullock confront a separate death at an Oxford nunnery, linking the novel’s mysteries through enclosed religious communities and the secrets protected by their authority.
