The Holy Thief (Chronicles of Brother Cadfael #Book 19)

Twelfth-century sleuth Brother Cadfael must solve a puzzling murder case and locate the sacred bones stolen from the Benedictine Abbey of Saint Peter and Saint Paul in Shrewsbury. Tour. In early 1145, subsiding flood waters reveal a robbery has been committed on church grounds, and Brother Cadfael thinks the robbery is connected to a murder.

THE NINETEENTH CHRONICLE OF BROTHER CADFAEL
In the spring of 1145 a precious reliquary is stolen from the Benedictine Abby of Saint Peter and Saint Paul at Shrewsbury and the question arises: was the theft for profit, or a Holy one? Brother Cadfael, a monk with a bent for sleuthing, turns his mind to the problem – but before the answer is found a young man is brutally murdered and the finger of suspicion points to a gifted young musician who is, perhaps, using the Church for his own purpose. Cadfael must work fast if justice is to be done…

Ellis Peters has woven a splendid tale for Brother Cadfael's nineteenth outing, enthralling, romantic and brilliantly effective.

Ellis Peters is one of the pseudonyms of Edith Pargeter who wrote several books under her own name and also Peter Benedict, Jolyon Carr and John Redfern. She was the recipient of the Crime Writers Association and the Cartier Diamond Dagger Award. She died in 1995
