In 1352 the terrible legacy of the Black Death still lurks over the town of Cambridge. Fears of a future outbreak drive people to seek protection in the power of holy relics, while the University is once more the scene for violent clashes between students and townsfolk. Matthew Bartholomew, Michaelhouse teacher and public physician, has a professional interest in order returning to the streets. But he soon finds himself embroiled in a nightmare of murder and revenge so terrifying that the whole town could be tainted with complicity.
