Lösegeld für einen Toten / Pilger des Hasses
В детективном цикле английской писательницы преступления раскрывает... монах.
Взят в плен шериф Шропшира. Его намереваются обменять на молодого валлийского лорда, схваченного при набеге на монастырь. Но смерть одного из пленников перечеркивает все надежды. Брат Кадфаэль раскрывает тайну этой смерти в романе "Выкуп за мертвеца".
Предательски убит благородный рыцарь, а его наследник исчез, возбудив подозрения. Между тем среди богомольцев, собравшихся на праздник в аббатство Святых Петра и Павла, обнаруживается странная пара паломников. Что за "роковой обет" заставил этих двоих пуститься в дорогу?
