Meriet, meek by day, is so racked by dreams at night that his howls earn him the nickname \"the Devil's Novice.\" Shunned and feared, Meriet is soon linked to the missing priestly emissary's dreadful fate. Only Brother Cadfael believes in Meriet's innocence, and only the good sleuth can uncover the truth before a boy's pure passion, not evil intent, leads a novice to the noose.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEllis Peters is a pseudonym of Edith Mary Pargeter (1913-1995), a British author whose Chronicles of Brother Cadfael are credited with popularizing the historical mystery. Cadfael, a Welsh Benedictine monk living at Shrewsbury Abbey in the first half of the twelfth century, has been described as combining the curious mind of a scientist with the bravery of a knight-errant. The character has been adapted for television, and the books drew international attention to Shrewsbury and its history. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePargeter won an Edgar Award in 1963 for \u003ci\u003eDeath and the Joyful Woman\u003c\/i\u003e, and in 1993 she won the Cartier Diamond Dagger, an annual award given by the Crime Writers' Association of Great Britain.
