The first in Frazer's new series, a spin-off from her highly successful Dame Frevisse series. Joliffe the Player is the central figure in this series that I like even more than the first one, and that is saying a lot.

The characters were introduced in a Sister Frevisse novel. Same historical period, obviously, and very well written.

The year is 1434, and preparations are underway for the Corpus Christi festival in Oxford, England. Plays are a traditional part of the celebration, and Joliffe and the rest of his troupe are to perform ISAAC AND ABRAHAM. Until then, their theatrical antics are in demand by a wealthy merchant--Master Penteney--who offers them an opportunity to ply their trade for room and board.

But when the body of a murdered man is found outside the barn door where the troupe is lodging, Joliffe must raise the curtain on Penteney's mysterious past--and uncover the startling truth behind the murder. (back cover)
