During the festive period, the cathedral town of Litchester is more used to carols by candlelight than flames and intrigue. However, when the proposed sale of the townοΏ½s 1225 copy of the Magna Carta causes a dispute between members of the cathedral chapter, there are far-reaching consequences.
Merchant banker Mark Treasure has been invited down to arbitrate the vicious disagreement, but finds himself dealing with more than he bargained for when the DeanοΏ½s verger is discovered murdered, his body left to burn along with the ecclesiastical library.
As TreasureοΏ½s investigation progresses and the evidence points to mayhem and skulduggery, he discovers that Litchester, once a town associated with peace and harmony, is in fact full of sins and secrets . . .
