Brother Cadfael Series 4 Set

Includes: The Holy Thief: On a dark and stormy night, the Holy Relics of St. Winifred-- the lifeblood of Shrewsbury Abbey-- are stolen, along with a box of precious gems that were to be transported to the recently ransacked Abbey at Ramsay. Cadfael (Derek Jacobi) must sort out how the kidnapping of a slave girl (Louise Delamere); a shocking confession from a fellow monk (Julian Firth); and a single thread found on a dead shepherd (Neil Caple) can help him catch the holy thief and bring a murderer to justice.

The Pilgrim of Hate:

When a flock of pilgrims arrives at Shrewsbury Abbey, Prior Robert (Michael Culver) discovers a corpse, bound in a sack, among their belongings. With little physical evidence to go on, Cadfael focuses his attention on two sets of siblings-- the evangelical Luc (Barney Craig) and his curiously penitent brother Cairan (Matt Patresi), and the duplicitous Walter (Lee Ingleby) and his devoted sister Melangell (Natasha Little).

The Potter's Field: While plowing a nearby field, the Shrewsbury monks stumble on the body of an unidentified woman-- believed to be Generys (Sioned Jones), the former wife of local potter, Ruald (Gregor Truter), who left home and hearth a year before to join monks at Shrewsbury. Refusing to believe that Ruald is a murderer, and desperate to confirm the woman's identity, Cadfael launches an inquiry that soon leads him to a troubled family: Eudo (Jack Klaff), the lord of the manor on which Ruald and Generys once lived; Eudo's ailing wife Astola (Mel Martin); and their son Sulien (Robin Laing). All three had a reason to kill Generys-- adultery, jealousy, lust-- but the discovery of a missing ring and a vial of hemlock reveals the truth.
