The Devil’s Disciples

By Susanna Gregory

Published Jun 2009

 

The Fourteenth Chronicle of Matthew Bartholomew

 

Rumours of plague threaten Cambridge again, ten years after the Black Death had almost laid waste to the town.  Neither the church nor its priests had defended people from the disease and now they turn elsewhere for protection, to pagan ritual and magical potions.  It is a ripe atmosphere to be exploited by the mysterious ‘Sorcerer’, an anonymous magician whose increasing influence seems certain to oust both civil and church leaders from power.

One murder, another unexplained death, a font filled with blood, a desecrated grave – all bear the hallmarks of the Sorcerer’s hand; only the identity of the magician remains a mystery.  One which Matthew Bartholomew must quickly get to the bottom of in order for he and his University colleagues to be free from danger…

 

Splendid…there is no sign that Susanna Gregory is flagging.
