Book Description
When Sabina, the blind whoremistress of the Old PriorityGuesthouse, accepts the offer of Master Mainard to live exclusively with him, everyone expects that Mainards wife Bertrild would be glad to be rid of him since his face is horribly birthmarked, and he is not as wealthy as Bertrild thought. But this was far from the truth. Bertrild attacks Sabina and demands that Mainard send her back to the whorehouse. Before Mainard and Sabina can decide what to do, Bertrild is murdered, and Mainard is the chief suspect. Fearful that her love will be hanged for murder, Sabina flees to her old whoremistress Magdalene la Batarde for help. Magdalene is no stranger to murder, and will use her powerful friends to help the women who work for herfriends who include Sir Bellamyhof Itchen, who reunites with Magdalene in unraveling this tangled tale of hatred, fear, and blackmail.
