Hi all,
I've just submitted for proofing "A Vein of Deceit (Matthew Bartholomew
Chronicles #15)" by Susanna Gregory.
It's been read and spell-checked. All headers removed, page numbers/chapter
titles present, fonts adjusted.
470 pages.
Description:
Despite a new influx of well-heeled students, Michaelhouse has suffered from
an acute lack of funds that has made itself manifest in a lack of decent
provisions. It is only when the Brother in charge of the account books dies
unexpectedly that an explanation is revealed: large amounts of money had
been paid for goods the college never received. Although shocked by this
evidence of fraud, Matthew Bartholomew is more concerned with the
disappearance of a quantity of pennyroyal from his herbarium. Pennyroyal is
known to cause a woman to miscarry, and a pregnant visitor to his sister's
household has died from an overdose of the substance. Had she meant to
abort her child, or had someone else wanted to ensure that she was unable to
provide an heir to her husband's wealthy estates? When Matthew learns that
it was the dead woman's husband who had received Michaelhouse's missing
money, he begins to search for other connections and quickly exposes a deep
and treacherous conspiracy.
Deborah
