The Rose Rent
First Published 1986
A young woman, recently widowed, bestows one of her properties on
the Abbey of Shrewsbury. In return she expects payment: an annual
rent of a single rose, to be delivered on the day of translation of
St Winifred. But such a beautiful woman, and with such a substantial
dowry, is an attractive proposition for would-be suitors ... and even
more so if the house should revert to her. Someone will stop at nothing
to prevent payment of the rose- not even murder. To Brother Cadfael,
as ever, falls the enquiry into this sensational crime.

and begin his quest to solve the mystery and track down a ruthless
killer.
