Seen on the PBS Mystery! series, this tale of greed and love stars Sir Derek Jacobi as Ellis Peters' compassionate crime-solver. A beautiful and wealthy young widow donates the house she shared with her beloved husband to Shrewsbury Abbey, asking only for the annual rent of one white rose from its garden. Among her many admirers is the young monk charged with delivering the first rose. When the monk is found bludgeoned to death and the widow disappears, Cadfael investigates.
