"A classics master who fought with the Resistance, Wedderburn comes home to Comerford to teach school. Ironically, when the peace of the little village is shattered by the murder of a former German Prisoner of war, it is the peaceful Wedderburn who becomes the primary suspect." Originally published in the UK in 1951. "Pargeter wrote under a number of pseudonyms; it was under the name Ellis Peters that she wrote her later crime stories, especially the highly popular series of Brother Cadfael medieval mysteries, a Benedictine monk at the Abbey in Shrewsbury. That pseudonym was drawn from the name of her brother, Ellis, and a version of the name of the daughter of friends, Petra. Many of the novels were made into films for television. Although she won her first award for a novel written in 1963, her greatest fame and sales came with the Cadfael Chronicles, which began in 1977.".
