Oxford, 1272. Lady Ann Segrim, Falconer’s former lover, is found poisoned, and the evidence is arranged to make him the obvious suspect. Imprisoned and facing trial, Falconer must depend on Peter Bullock and Thomas Symon to apply his methods without him.
Ann had been investigating the death of a nun, and a second killing shows that the cases are connected. The investigation moves through the nunnery and Falconer’s own relationships, exposing a murderer who uses reputation, intimacy and institutional silence as weapons.
