When a young nun, Joanna Calverley, dies of fever in the town of Beverley, they waste no time in burying her, fearing the plague.
But nine months later a woman turns up claiming to be Joanna, saying she faked her own death.

Soldiers fleeing to France, relic-trading and incest are just a few of the secrets which emerge.
Can Archer unravel the mystery surrounding this nun?
