When Will Ackland, younger son of an impoverished gentleman, returns home after years abroad he finds his evil-tempered brother Gilbert cursing the Prior's new bailiff for his actions. Then a corpse is discovered, not only stabbed but also mutilated beyond recognition. Is it the Prior's bailiff? If so, Gilbert is the chief suspect. But Will discovers that the bailiff had other enemies, and he begins to unravel a tangle of concealed passion that leaves more than one man dead.
