Description: Hugh is called in when the body of Alan, beadle of the medieval manor of Bampton, is discovered with his throat torn out, and his face, hands, and forearms lacerated with deep scratches. The coroner surmises that a wolf caused the great wound, yet Hugh wonders... why was there so little blood?
