May 1199. Richard the Lionheart is dead and his brother John has just been crowned King of England.

John travels to St Edmundâ€™s abbey in Suffolk to give thanks for his accession. His visit coincides with the murder of a twelve-year-old boy whose mutilated body bears the marks of ritual sacrifice and martyrdom. This isnâ€™t the first time such a thing has happened. Eighteen years earlier another child was murdered in the town in similar circumstances.

Abbot Samson needs to find out if this is indeed another martyrdom or just an ordinary murder and appoints the abbeyâ€™s physician, Master Walter, to investigate. Walter discovers a web of intrigue and corruption involving some of the highest in the land but unbeknown to him his own past holds a secret which will put his life in danger before the final terrible solution is revealed.
