- Synopsis
- An intriguing nineteenth century historical mystery. July, 1829. When a female corpse, dressed in male clothing, is discovered lying in a haystack in the Worcestershire countryside, rumor and superstition abound. For the sighting of a man in white robes fleeing from the scene leads to suspicion that the &“Devil&’s Monk&” is responsible for the crime. According to local legend, this vengeful apparition appears at intervals to molest and kill. Constable Thomas Potts is dismissive of the rumors—but without knowing the victim&’s identity, he&’ll need the devil&’s own luck to catch her killer. And when a second body turns up, Potts is under pressure to track down the murderer before hysteria engulfs the town.
