Alderman John Foster purchases a piece of land from the Magdalen Nunnery intending to build a chapel, dedicated to the Magi - the Three Kings of Cologne - and some almshouses. He little imagines the shocking discovery about to be made.
When the land is cleared and dug over, the body of a young woman is unearthed and later identified as the remains of Isabella Linkinhorne, who disappeared 20 years earlier. Feeling himself responsible, Foster decides to employ Roger the Chapman to investigate, for there is no doubt that the woman was murdered.

"In this tale of Roger the Chapman, he is called on to use his skills to solve a twenty year old mystery. Again, Kate Sedley's attention to detail with the people of the 15th Century and their lives and customs is excellent." — Marian (5 out of 5 stars)

" Roger the Chapman - good mystery, good characters "
" Roger the Chapman series. I've read them all. "
" The solution to the murder was fairly obvious and not much happens, but its decently enough written and has a minimum of eyerolling dialogue. Okay, if you've got nothing else. "
" this book was another medieval mystery series. I just wish they had published these types of series earlier. Medieval history is my favorite period, so I would have really enjoyed them. But now I have found them. I think that Susanna Gregory's novels are better though. "
" Historical mystery set in 15th century Bristol, England. Roger is a likable hero, peddler and amateur sleuth. "
