Publisher's Summary
Oxford, Spring 1353. When young bookseller Nicholas Elyot discovers the body of student William Farringdon floating in the river Cherwell, it looks like a drowning. Soon, however, Nicholas finds evidence of murder. Who could have wanted to kill this promising student? As Nicholas and his scholar friend Jordain try to unravel what lies behind William's death, they learn that he was innocently caught up in a criminal plot. When their investigations begin to involve town, university, and abbey, Nicholas takes a risky gamble - and puts his family in terrible danger.

A joy to read
A lovely story, well narrated. Ann Swinfen brings 14th Century Oxford to life with very real characters and interesting history of story writing, parchment making and book binding.

A good tale with some complexity
I enjoyed the story but the performance was masterful. It brought the story to life so well.

loved it!
look seldom do you come across a test with so much situational iron, dramatic irony and still a huge heart. I fully fell in love with the central protagonist and the rest of the team are so well fleshed out it is a pleasure to inhabit their world. Thank you!
