The clerk's tale

Dame Frevisse accompanies her prioress on a visit of mercy to a
nunnery. St. Mary's nunnery is a place of prayer and healing for women -
so it is
surprising to see a man sprawled out in the cloister garden. Dead. Less
surprising, to Dame Frevisse, was the identity of the victim: Master
Montfort was not particularly liked by anyone in the town of Goring.
Even his own wife and clerk despised him. And as royal escheator he was
trying to settle a heated dispute between a wealthy woman and her
supposed nephew.
Now Dame Frevisse must step in and untangle the fortunes and felonies in
a rivalry of wealth, family, and politics. But the true challenge will
be putting aside her own feelings and serving justice for the murder of
an unjust man...
