Death by white virgins
Death in a Convent: A Mystery That Reaches the Royal Court
In the alleys of medieval Prague and in the silver-bearing region of Kutná Hora, the wise Master Petr, the witty Jew Jakub, and the brave widow Kornelie uncover the sinister secrets of a women's convent. The mysterious death of a young nun gives the investigators no peace, and other suspicious deaths are not long in coming. This time, the suspicion leads all the way to the royal court itself. However, all their presence of mind, charm, and political scheming are not enough to fight an adversary who will stop at nothing, and the detectives unwittingly risk everything they hold dear, finding themselves in mortal danger. This detective story, told directly by the investigators themselves, draws the reader into a struggle for justice, power intrigues, and the temptation of forbidden passion.
