Solace for a Sinner by Caroline Roe

Solace for a Sinner by Caroline Roe

      
In medieval Spain, the blind Jewish physician, Isaac of Girona, is revered for his skill as a healer. But it's Isaac's uncanny sense for what is fair and what is foul that proves to be the remedy in times of trouble...

Girona, Spain, 1354. As a scorching summer heat descends on the city, a highly respected merchant is found dead and robbed of a fortune in gold. But the motive is more shocking than the murder. Isaac learns that the man was going to purchase what he thought was the fabled Holy Grail. Superstition surrounding the ancient chalice throws the city into near-chaos--and incites the greed of wealthy and powerful men desperate to make the relic their own. Against the wishes of His Excellency, the Bishop Berenguer, Isaac seeks out the murderer--and uncovers much more than meets the eye...
