The Sanctuary Sparrow

The Chronicles of Brother Cadfael, written by Ellis Peters, pseudonym of Edith Mary Pargeter, are credited with pioneering the historical mystery genre. “The pinnacle of [Peters’s] achievements is the twenty-one-volume series about Brother Cadfael, a medieval Benedictine monk, that combines romance and detective fiction and which achieved bestseller status in both the United States and Great Britain, as well as inspiring a popular television series that starred Derek Jacobi,” says Otto Penzler, publisher of MysteriousPress.com.
 
The entire Dagger Award–winning series, which first appeared in 1977, is now available as ebooks from MysteriousPress.com and Open Road Media.
