The Brothers of Glastonbury
A traveling peddler searches for two missing brothers in medieval England in this colorful historical mystery.
“Roger the Chapman, an itinerant peddler of uncommon insight and intelligence, returns to solve another spine-tingling medieval mystery cloaked in greed, treachery, and suspense. . . . An evocative and authentically detailed historical whodunit.” —Booklist
Roger the traveling chapman should be on his way home to medieval Bristol after a nice summer’s peddling. But a request from his duke to escort a bride en route to her betrothed takes him toward Wells, where the groom and his brother have vanished.
Roger links the disappearances to the discovery of ancient scrolls written in a strange language. But as he deciphers the archaic tongue, he concludes that a still-greater mystery lies at the heart of the brothers’ disappearance, in The Brothers of Glastonbury by Kate Sedley.
“Those who have enjoyed the sleuthing of Sedley's 15th-century peddler Roger the Chapman know what a feast of storytelling, historical detail and clever crime solving awaits. Those who haven't should give the series a try. . . . Using local legends and myths as a foundation, Sedley portrays late medieval England with remarkable clarity and vividness.” —Publishers Weekly
