When a murdered body is discovered in the river, a series of events leads Galeran to believe that the perpetrator of the fire is still at large in the area. While hundreds of master craftsmen, artisans and workers painstakingly rebuild the cathedral for the glory of God, he lives among them in an attempt to solve the mystery. A compelling and atmospheric story of bloody revenge. D4C. Fine/Fine.
