About the book

When a young nun, Joanna Calverley, dies of a fever in the town of Beverley, she is buried quickly for fear of the plague. But nine months later a woman appears claiming to be the dead nun, saying she faked her own death. Owen Archer sets out to investigate this mysterious disappearance.

Two series, the Owen Archer mysteries and the Kate Clifford mysteries, are set in late medieval York.


The Margaret Kerr trilogy is set in early 14th century Scotland, at the beginning of the Wars of Independence.
