New York: William Morrow & Co., 1982. First Printing, First U.S. Edition. . Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. The fifth novel in the award-winning Peters' celebrated historical mystery series, set in 10th century England and featuring Benedictine monk, Brother Cadfael. This time Cadfael takes up the cause of two thwarted lovers -- a beautiful princess about to be bartered into a loveless marriage and the young nobleman who loves her but who is accused of murdering her prospective bridegroom. Even Cadfael is surprised when the true killer's identity comes from the leper house of St. Giles. Boards and text are clean and unmarked, tight and square, not remaindered. The dustjacket shows a touch of surface and edge wear, but no tears or chipping, not price-clipped. A collectable copy.
