A Morbid Taste for Bones

Following a vision by young monk Brother Columbanus, the monks of Shrewsbury go to Wales to recover the bones of St Winifred and take them to the abbey. But their attempted bribery of the Welsh puts them at odds with the local residents - and when the local landowner is found murdered, the monks are regarded as prime suspects. It takes Cadfael's intervention and mediation to smooth things over and allow them to return home.
