Once again the perceptive nun, Dame Frevisse, is caught in the middle of a murder scenario. When the body of Sir Ralph of Woodrim is discovered in the woods near his manor house, she finds herself positioned as the comfort-provider to a widow who's not grieving. It soon emerges that the late master of the manor, despised by his wife and family, can still hold power over his heirs through his will, just as he did in life, with stringent demands upon his executors. As secrets are drawn out into the light, Dame Frevisse fears the murderer among them will not rest until the family legacy has been settled once and for all and it is she who must resolve the mysteries and ensure justice is done.
