The Plague Testament

The murder of an Italian student who began attending the rhetorical school of Henry of Isernia is incomprehensible. He had no money and no enemies, and he had only been in Prague for three weeks. At the same time, the usurper Mikeš of Dobronín asks Oldřich of Chlum to try to find out at Zvíkov why his cousin's bride was denied the inheritance of her father. There are very few witnesses and everyone dies a violent death before they tell the truth. The strings lead to Mantua, where Squire Ota studied. But he's more interested in the unknown beautiful girl.
