At the beginning of the twelfth century the civil war, caused by the dispute between King Stephen and the Empress Maud, continued to rage. In the Battle of Lincoln the sheriff of Shropshire was captured and the king himself taken prisoner by his enemies. ***An exchange of valuable prisoners was arranged. The sheriff would be recovered in place of a young Welsh lordling who in turn had been captured in the course of a misguided assault on a convent. ***The transaction promised to be straightforwards, hedged round by traditional safeguards. But before the exchange could be completed one of the valuable prisoners was murdered. It was brother Cadfael's observations which proved that the man's death was not natural. And Cadfael gathered clues - very slender evidence but enough to bring a conviction of guilt if the piece could be made to fit. ***Cadfael, gardener to the Benedictine monastery of St Peter and St Paul in Shrewsbury, had investigated crime before; he had become something of a detective. Here he is again called upon to prove guilt, to acquit the innocent, and to calm and disentangle the affairs of young star-crossed lovers. As in his earlier cases he is helped by his friend, Hugh Beringar, the deputy sheriff. ***In another story of great distinction Father Cadfael is delightful company. His exploits are most ingeniously constructed and he enjoys a faithful - and growing - readership.' ***'"Dead Man's Ransom" is not only immensely competent and professional, but also a delight to read.' - Times Literary Supplement (Quote and review quote taken from the front and back flaps of the dustwrapper respectively) ****First thus - reissued by Macmillan in a new format. Ellis Peters' Ninth Chronicle of Brother Cadfael - who has been compared to a medieval Sherlock Holmes - in its original attractively illustrated 'illuminated letter' dustwrapper, in extremely nice, bright condition.
