Ljekarnikova ruža

Ljekarnikova ruža

Candace Robb

Godine Gospodnje 1363. u samostanu sv. Marije dvije osobe umiru pod sumnjivim okolnostima, pa taj događaj privuče pozornost moćnog Johna Thoresbyja, engleskog kancelara i yorškog nadbiskupa.

Jedna žrtva je hodočasnik, dok je druga Thoresbyjev štićenik, vjetropir, a obadvojica su očito nastradala od lijeka što ga je priredio meštar ljekarnik Nicholas Wilton. Uznemiren tim događajima nadbiskup šalje jednookog uhodu Owena Archera u York da pronađe ubojicu. Pod krinkom razočarana vojnika koji želi započeti novi život, Owen se ubacuje u Wiltonovu ljekarnu kao djetić, no otkriva da je bolesni Wilton pao u postelju, a posao vodi njegova ljupka, zagonetna mlada žena Lucie. Kad Owen počinje rasplitati zamršeno klupko iz prošlosti pune sablazni i tragedija, doznaje da je u središtu tajne očajnička, zabranjena ljubav, koja se vremenom izopačila u opsesiju. K tome je žena u koju se istražitelj zaljubljuje ujedno i najsumnjivija osoba na koju se mora usredotočiti.
