Cambridge 1354. Christmas approaches and the town is gripped by the worst blizzards in living memory. The weather has trapped many travellers in the town, including physician Matthew Bartholomew and his erstwhile love, Philippa. She and her wealthy husband are invited to Michaelhouse for the main feast and Matthew is horrified that he does not immediately recognise the overweight, sulky woman who once stole his heart.

When Philippa's husband is found dead, Matthew is brought closer to her circle. Was the husband a victim of an accident on the treacherous ice of the fens - or was it a more sinister death, somehow linked to the death of one of his business rivals months earlier in London? Susanna Gregory again brings mediaeval Cambridge to rich and vibrant life in a beautifully crafted mystery.
