New Blood From Old Bones

Will Ackland's ancestral home is dependent upon the great Cluniac Priory. When Will returns home after years abroad he finds his brother Gilbert cursing the Prior's new bailiff for his exactions. Then a corpse is discovered, not only stabbed but mutilated beyond recognition. Is it the Prior's bailiff? If so, Gilbert is the chief suspect and the townspeople will not be sorry to see him dangling from the gibbet.
