Matthew Bartholomew, doctor of medicine and fellow of Michaelhouse, Cambridge, is travelling with a party from the college to accept the gift of the living of a parish in Grundisburgh, Suffolk. When they arrive, they are immediately thrust into the rivalry between three landowners, but all such squabbles seem mere trivia when the scholar who was accompanying them is murdered in the very church which was to have been his home as a priest. While trying to investigate a possible motive for the killing, Bartholomew discovers that this is not the first unnatural death in the village - deaths which everyone has put down to the curse of the plague-dead village. He is of too practical a mind to believe the superstitions, but is he wily enough to work out the real motive behind the murders and who will gain from them?
