Cadfael: The Holy Thief

A riveting medieval mystery based on the bestselling book by Ellis Peters

Brothers from Ramsey come to Shrewsbury looking for money to rebuild their monastery, which has been ransacked by rebel soldiers. They claim that a loan of Saint Winifred's Holy Relics, which are housed at Shrewsbury, would be suitable generosity. Cadfael and the Abbot opt to provide the men with a gift of precious gems instead. Then, during a cataclysmic night of violent storms, the Holy Relics disappear. Cadfael is dispatched to recover them and unearths a wrong much greater than he had expected. Sir Derek Jacobi stars as Brother Cadfael, a 12th century monk whose worldly past and keen intuition make him a natural sleuth. A PBS Mystery! favorite.
