Winchester and Oxford, Christmas 1268. A theatrical performance ends in a real killing when an actor is stabbed on stage. Soon after, a troupe of jongleurs arrives in Oxford, and a second performer dies during another play.
Falconer investigates the company’s rivalries while also pursuing a cryptic request from Roger Bacon concerning an alchemist. Religious drama, relics, royal authority and forbidden inquiry converge as Falconer tries to identify why the actors are being targeted before the troupe’s final performance.
