In 1348, the inhabitants of Cambridge live under the shadow of a terrible pestilence that has ravaged Europe and is travelling relentlessly eastward towards England. Physician Matthew Bartholomew, however, is distracted by the sudden and inexplicable death of the Master of Michaelhouse - a death the University authorities do not want investigated. When three more scholars die in mysterious circumstances, Barholomew defies the University and begins his own enquiry - the tangle of lies and intrigue he has to deal with causes him to question the innocence of his closest friends, and even his family.
