A Morbid Taste For Bones
Seen on the PBS Mystery! series, this tangles tale stars Sir Derek Jacobi as Brother Cadfael, the intuitive crime-solving monk of medieval Shrewsbury. When a young monk claims to see visions of St. Winifred, Cadfael and a party from Shrewsbury Abbey trek to Wales to excavate her holy relics and are met with much hostility. When the main opponent to the monks' efforts is murdered, not even the holy men -- who are forbidden to leave with the relics until Cadfael identifies the killer -- are exempt from suspicion.

The Raven In The Foregate
Twelfth century Shrewsbury comes dramatically to life in Ellis Peters' best-selling story of Brother Cadfael - a good man in an evil world.

Father Ailnoth, the new parish priest, earns the scorn of all his parishioners. After refusing to baptize the illegitimate baby of a local woman, the priest is found dead in the river. With plenty of suspects but a shortage of clues, Cadfael confounds even his good friend Beringar, the Under Sheriff, in revealing just how the priest lost his life.
