Crispin soon finds out the priest of the priory has his secrets and sins, too. This doesn’t last long when another nun is killed. Philippa goes “undercover” to see if she can find anything out about the murders. Her husband is a well-respected mercer in town, and although she and Crispin cast covetous looks at each other, that’s as far as it can go. Our secondary story concerns his ongoing relationship with Philippa Walcote, the mother of his son (unacknowledged, of course). Is the murderer the ghost that’s been sighted? Crispin isn’t falling for that, but there are odd occurrences that will keep him on his toes for the length of The Deadliest Sin. But before that, Crispin has a job find the killer of two nuns at a local priory, dispatched in ways that mirror elements of the seven deadly sins. Will things change, though? There are rumors that the exiled Henry, son of the duke, is making his way back to England. But now he is satisfied with his “job” as The Tracker, solving crimes, finding bad people, even murderers. It has been twenty-two years since he was banished from court, losing everything. The fifteenth - and last - Crispin Guest book finds Crispin at the bedside of the dying Duke of Lancaster.
