She is appointed by the Archbishop as Advocatus Diaboli - the Devil's Advocate - to argue against the beatification of Roger Atworth, a friar in the Order of the Sack and confessor of King Edward's mother. Atworth has died under mysterious circumstances, and there are rumours afloat of miraculous happenings surrounding his body. When Kathryn begins asking questions at the friary about Atworth's death, she discovers that the logical explanation is murder, not a miracle. But Kathryn suspects a link between his death and that of an English spy outside the friary. With the murderer still on the loose, what began as a search for the town's ills becomes Kathryn's pursuit of a killer...\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat readers are saying about the Kathryn Swinbrooke Mysteries:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'The \u003cb\u003esense of menace\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003cb\u003edepth of characterization\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003einteresting cast of characters\u003c\/b\u003e make this book, and the series, a \u003cb\u003ebrilliant\u003c\/b\u003e read'\u003cbr\u003e'\u003cb\u003eA great romp\u003c\/b\u003e through medieval England'\u003cbr\u003e'\u003cb\u003eSuperb plot and characters\u003c\/b\u003e.
