«La bara d'argento» is the historical mystery novel by Ellis Peters, published by TEA in paperback (193 pages, in Italian).
Set in twelfth-century England, the Benedictine community of Shrewsbury claims the relics of Saint Winifred against the inhabitants of a Welsh village. When the body of Rhisiart, the monks' main opponent, is found pierced by an arrow, Brother Cadfael distrusts appearances and tries to solve the case amid suspicions, reticence and false leads.
The first installment of the Chronicles of Brother Cadfael was originally published in 1977 as A Morbid Taste for Bones. The Italian translation is by Elsa Pelitti.
For readers of historical fiction and medieval mystery, especially those who want to follow Brother Cadfael's investigations.
