Book VIII in the Chronicles of Brother Cadfael.
In the autumn of 1140 the Benedictine monastery at Shrewsbury finds its new novice Meriet Aspley a disturbing presence. Meek and biddable by day, his sleep is rent with nightmares so violent as to earn him the nickname of "Devil's Novice". Can Meriet be involved in the nearby disappearance of a superior prelate? As events take a sinister turn it falls to Brother Cadfael to detect the truth behind the young man's predicament.
Now a major TV series starring Sir Derek Jacobi, this book is a new mystery from Ellis Peters, recipient of the Crime Writers' Association/Cartier Diamond Dagger Award.
