The Difficult Saint - first US edition
by Sharan Newman - signed
Sixth in the Catherine LeVendeur series of medieval mysteries . Catherine,
wife of one-handed Edgar, mother of two small children and daughter of a Jewish
merchant, Hubert, is a Christian convert. When her estranged sister, Agnes,
unable to accept her father's Jewish origins, contracts a marriage with a German
wine grower, Lord Gerhardt of Trier, the family schism threatens to become both
wider and more permanent. But Gerhardt's death, under circumstances that
strongly implicate his new bride as either murderess or witch, sends Catherine
and her family on an arduous trek to Germany to win Agnes's freedom by proving
her innocence or another's guilt.
