看圖書介紹A plowman who fails to prevent a murder
A corpse stolen while a priest prays over it
A clever killer that must be caught in three days
Cathar country, (now southern France), late autumn in the year 1200.
The alchemist sends Bertwoin to work in the château’s kitchen to prevent the murder of the visconte’s son. Bertwoin fails.
And before the alchemist can examine the corpse for clues, the killer commits the impossible crime of stealing the body while a priest keeps vigil over it.
Now the murderer hunts other noble prey.
Then Sir Philippe, a powerful knight, accuses Bertwoin of being the killer.
The visconte gives the alchemist and Bertwoin three days to find the murderer.
