Publisher's Synopsis
A few years have now passed since the death of Ellis Peters, and crime writers and readers still rue the fact that there will be no further adventures for that most beloved of Benedictine monks, Brother Cadfael.
Now, at the cusp of the millennium, the historical mystery genre stands stronger than ever before. In this second memorial anthology, more of today's leading British and American crime writers have contributed new stories, with a breath-taking range of settings and sleuths, guaranteed to appeal to every fan of historical and modern crime.
