In 1350 the people of Cambridge are struggling to overcome the effects of the Black Death. The high death rate among priests and monks has left the people vulnerable to sinister cults that have grown up in the wake of the plague. At Michaelhouse Matthew Bartholomew is training new physicians to replace those who died of the pestilence. When the body of a friar is found in the massive chest where the University stores its most precious documents, Batholomew is dragged away from his teaching to investigate. But the friar's is not the only unexplained death in the town.
