The Pilgrim of Hate (Chronicles of Brother Cadfael #10)

A monk must find a killer among a flood of religious pilgrims in this medieval mystery by the Edgar Awardwinning author: A series like no other (TheSan Diego Union-Tribune). In the year of our Lord 1141, civil war over Englands throne leaves a legacy of violenceand the murder of a knight dear to Brother Cadfael. And with gentle bud-strewn May, a flood of pilgrims comes to the celebration of Saint Winifred at the Abbey of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, carrying with it many strange soulsand perhaps the knights killer. Brother Cadfaels shrewd eyes see all: the prosperous merchant who rings false, an angelic lame boy, his beautiful dowerless sister, and two wealthy penitents. In the name of justice Cadfael decides to uncover the strange and twisted tale that accompanies these travelers. Instead he unearths a quest for vengeance, witnesses a miracle, and finds himself on a razors edge between death and the absolution of love.

In his tenth chronicle Brother Cadfael believes that amongst the motley group of pilgrims in Shrewsbury is a murderer fleeing justice.
