January, 1145. Godfrey Bowyer, the best but least likeable bow maker in Worcester, dies an agonising death by poisoning. Although similarly struck down after the same meal, his wife, Blanche, survives. The number of people who could have administered the poison should mean a very short investigation for the Sheriff's men. However, Hugh Bradecote, Serjeant Catchpoll and Underserjeant Walkelin must consider that someone could have been pulling the strings, and that casts the net much wider. Could it be the cast-out younger brother? Or perhaps Orderic the Bailiff, whose wife may have had to endure Godfrey's attentions? Could it even be Blanche herself? With Bradecote eager to return to his manor worried about his wife's impending confinement, and Walkelin trying to get his mother to accept his choice of bride, there are distractions aplenty, though Serjeant Catchpoll will not let them get in the way of solving this case.
