Saint Peter's Fair is a grand festive event, attracting tradesmen from across England & beyond. There is a pause in the civil war racking the country in the summer of 1139, & the fair promises to bring some much needed gaiety to the town of Shrewsbury. Until, that is, the body of a wealthy trader is found in the River Severn. Was Thomas of Bristol the victim of murderous thieves? & if so, why were his valuables abandoned nearby? Brother Cadfael offers to help the merchant's lovely niece Emma. But while he is seaching for the killer, the man's wares are ransacked & two more men are murdered.
