'The tale seems very improbable,' Gil Cunningham said. 'How should the Devil enter a religious house and carry off one of its members?' How indeed? But Arnold Fleming, the widely disliked pensioner lodged in the Dominican's house in Perth, has vanished from a chamber and a local knight and his mistress claim to have seen the Devil abroad that very same night. Three of the friars are accused by their fellows of involvement, documents found in Fleming's lodgings suggest he was blackmailing somebody, and when Gil is called in to investigate, he reveals theft, ancient murder - and more recent secrets. Then a body turns up - then a second one. Are these deaths connected to Fleming's disappearance, or to the victim of his blackmailing activities? Or is the Devil himself really running abroad in Perth? 'McIntosh's characterisations and period detail are first rate.' Publishers Weekly, starred review 'The next Cunningham adventure is to be welcomed.' Historical Novels Review 'Will do for Glasgow in the fifteenth century what Ellis Peters and her Brother Cadfael did for Shrewsbury in the twelfth.' Mystery Readers Journal
