Heresy: A Catherine LeVendeur Mystery (Catherine Levendeur Mysteries)
Uprooted from their Paris home by threat of disease and the  economic side effects of the latest Crusade, Catherine LeVendeur  and her family take shelter in the convent headed by her friend  Heloise. Traveling with them in disguise is Heloise and  Abelard's son, Astrolabe, who has been wrongfully accused of  raping and murdering a well-born woman abducted from another  convent. Catherine's search for whoever is trying to discredit  Heloise via Astrolabe threatens to expose her own dangerous  secret-that her father is Jewish. In Newman's eighth LeVendeur  mystery (following To Wear the White Cloak), readers will love  the total immersion into medieval history through character,  surroundings, turbulent events, and culture. Strongly  recommended for fans of historical mysteries.Copyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc.
