"Sir Richard Straccan, excrusader, males his living dealing in these divine body-parts.  Being a bone-pedlar, he leads a dangerous but profitable life retrieving stolen relics, negotiating deals and locating new artefacts.  But when he is asked by the Prioress of Holystone to help solve a mystery, he takes on a job more dangerous than ever before.  A dying man has been brought to the Priory carrying with him a rare and precious icon but nobody knows what it is or where the man was taking it."
