Description

In the Summer of 1450, widow Anne Blakhall, a tailor and embroiderer, has taken a lover who is secretly a Jew. Foreign merchant Daved Weir lives in constant peril because Jews have been banished from England for over a hundred years.Dame Frevisse of St. Frideswide's nunnery is in London to arrange for funeral vestments for her cousin's murdered husband, the Duke of Suffolk. But she is also charged with secretly recovering the gold the late Duke sent out of England shortly before his death. Her mission brings her into contact with Anne, chosen to make the vestments, and Daved, who has returned the gold to England. But her duty and their love become more dangerous as a rebel army advances on London and a murdered body is discovered in the crypt of a church, mutilated with what are supposedly Hebrew letters.
