Title: The Riddle of St. Leonard's
Description: **Candace Robb is an English historical novelist, whose works are set in medieval England.**

"***Medieval York is wrapped in a dangerous riddle that only Owen Archer can unfurl.*** The fetid summer heat of 1369 has the citizens of York besieging Owen Archer's apothecary wife, Lucie, for physicks against noxious vapors. But ***than pestilence is in the air**.

Owen is summoned to investigate the theft of rare treasures from St. Leonard's Hospital and the untimely deaths of aging patients. ***What links a brutal robbery, a fatal fire, a lay sister some still call whore, and a homeless urchin who shoots an arrow as straight as Owen himself?***

Country lore and town gossip lead him deep into the past, toward a killer with a heart blacker than the plague itself ..."--Bk Cvr
