Product Description

Umbria, 1316. In Assisi the stonemasons and artists are busily transforming the basilica into a masterpiece of religious art. In Giardinetto nearby, the nuns of the order of the Poor Clares and monks in the Franciscan monastery are going about their modest and observant lives with small care for the wider world. In Perugia two young noblemen are lusting after the equally young wife of a local, middle-aged sheep farmer. The scene is set. Within pages the dagger is plunged. The sheep farmer is murdered. And the knot begins to tangle and tighten before it can be unravelled.
