as Godfrid Piccard
Setting out for the Saint Giles leper colony, Brother Cadfael has more pressing matters on his mind than the grand wedding that is to take place at the Abbey of Shrewsbury. Yet as fate would have it, Cadfael arrives at Saint Giles just as the nuptial party passes the colony's gates.Cadfael sees the fragile bride, young and beautiful Iveta de Massard, looking like a prisoner between her two stern guardians (Lord and Lady Piccard); and the groom, an arrogant, fleshy aristocrat old enough to be her grandfather, Baron Huon de Domville. And he quickly discerns that this union may be more damned than blessed, as this is no love match. The old baron is interested only in Iveta's lands and estates; the orphaned Iveta loves another. On the eve of the wedding, the baron mysteriously rides off alone into the night--and that's the last time he's seen alive. His savage murder disrupts the May-December marriage and leaves Brother Cadfael with a dark, terrible mystery to solve. For the key to the killing--and a secret--are hidden among the lepers of Saint Giles. Now Brother Cadfael's skills must ferret a sickness, not of the body, but of a twisted soul.
Pictures of Mr. Hyde as Godfrid Piccard--a greedy, domineering, self-righteous man (nice hat though).
