Hill of Bones
“Two good men were dead, and Prior Hugh suspected murder. The first had happened eight years ago, when the saintly Bishop Reginald had died en route to Canterbury, where he was to have been invested as archbishop; his body had been returned to Bath, and over the last few weeks, miracles had been occurring at his tomb. And second, there was Adam.
Adam had not wanted to be Master of St John’s Hospital, but Reginald’s successor, Bishop Savaric, had been insistent. And no one refused the ruthles...s, uncompromising Savaric. Adam had been a talented healer, but he had not enjoyed running a large and busy foundation, and it had probably been a desire for peace that had led him up Solsbury Hill a month before.
No one knew exactly what had happened, but Adam’s torn body had been found at the foot of the hill the following morning. Opinions in the abbey were divided: some monks thought a wolf was at large, while others believed Adam had fallen to his death.MoreLess
