A MORBID TASTE FOR BONES
Shrewsbury, 1137. The ambitious head of Shrewsbury Abbey has decided to acquire the remains of Saint Winifred for his Benedictine order. Brother Cadfael is part of the expedition sent to her final resting place in Wales, where they find the villagers passionately divided by the Benedictines' offer for the saint's relics. But Cadfael isn't surprised when this taste for bones leads to bloody murder...
ONE CORPSE TOO MANY
In the summer of 1138, war between King Stephen and the Empress Maud takes Brother Cadfael from the quiet world of his garden to the bloody battlefield. Not far from the safety of the Abbey walls, Shrewsbury Castle falls, leaving its ninety-four defenders loyal to the empress to hang as traitors. With a heavy heart, Brother Cadfael agrees to bury the dead, only to make a grisly discovery: ninety-five bodies lie in a row, and the extra corpse tells Cadfael that the killer is both clever and ruthless.

About the author

Ellis Peters ist das Pseudonym der englischen Autorin Edith Pargeter. 1913 in Wales geboren, arbeitete sie nach ihrer Schulzeit als Apothekenhelferin, verlor aber ihr Ziel, Schriftstellerin zu werden, niemals aus den Augen. Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg begann sie Romane zu schreiben, außerdem übersetzte sie eine Reihe tschechischer Werke ins Englische. 1959 begann ihre Karriere als Krimiautorin, und bereits zwei Jahre später, 1961, wurde "Der Tod und die lachende Jungfrau" mit dem Edgar-Allan-Poe-Award ausgezeichnet. Ellis Peters starb im Oktober 1995. §
