In this volume: Saint Peter's Fair: The great annual fair of Saint Peter at Shrewsbury is a high point in the city's calendar and attracts merchants from far and wide to do business. But when an unseemly quarrel erupts between the local burghers and the monks of the Benedictine monastery as to who will benefit from the levies the fair provides, a riot ensues. Afterwards a merchant is found dead and Brother Cadfael is summoned from his peaceful herb garden to try his skills as a detective. The Leper Of Saint Giles: A savage murder interrupts an ill-fated marriage between an ageing nobleman and a young woman, set to take place at Shrewsbury Abbey. Brother Cadfael has a terrible mystery to solve - but would a hunted man hide among the lepers in Shrewsbury's sanctuary? The Virgin In The Ice: Winter, 1139: Brother Cadfael's tranquil life in the monastery gardens is again interrupted by violent events. The civil war has sent many refugees fleeing north from Worcester, among them two orphans from a great family and their companion, a nun. But they have disappeared in the wild winter of frost and snow - and Cadfael sets out to find them.
