from the cover:
"In 1358, the college of Michaelhouse is facing competition from rival upstarts such as Zachary Hostel as well as opposition from the town's inhabitants. This simmering tension threatens to break into violence when a well-known brewer is found dead in one of the colleges. Physician Matthew Bartholomew knows he was poisoned but cannot identify the actual substance, never mind the killer.
Anxious to clear his sister's name, as many suspect that the effluent from her dyeworks may be the cause of the poisoning, Bartholomew knows he has very little time in which to discover the truth before many more people - townsmen and scholars - lose their lives entirely."
