Once upon a time, not so long ago, a monster came to the small town of Castle Rock, Maine . . . Cujo is a huge Saint Bernard dog, the best friend Brett Camber has ever had. Then one day Cujo chases a rabbit into a bolt-hole. Except it isn't a rabbit warren any more. It is a cave inhabited by rabid bats. And Cujo falls sick. Very sick.

In 1137 the ambitious head of Shrewsbury Abbey has decided to acquire the remains of Saint Winifred for his Benedictine order. Brother Cadfael is part of the expedition sent to her final resting place in Wales and they find the villagers passionately divided by the Benedictines' offer for the saint's relics. Canny, wise and all too worldly, Cadfael isn't surprised when this taste for bones leads to a bloody murder. The leading opponent to moving the grave has been shot dead with a mysterious arrow, and some say Winifred herself dealt the blow. Brother Cadfael knows that a carnal hand did the killing, but he doesn't know that his plan to unearth a murderer may dig up a case of love and justice, where the wages of sin may be a scandal- or his own ruin.

Seth Hubbard is een schatrijke man, maar ook een doodzieke man die lijdt aan longkanker. Hubbard vertrouwt niemand en vlak voordat hij zichzelf van het leven berooft, herziet hij zijn testament. Een met de hand geschreven brief die verregaande gevolgen zal hebben voor zijn volwassen kinderen, zijn zwarte huishoudster en advocaat Jake Brigance. Drie jaar geleden verdedigde Jake met succes Carl Lee Hailey, die terechtstond voor moord op de verkrachters van zijn dochtertje. Nu ziet hij zich opnieuw geconfronteerd met een explosieve rechtszaak die de emoties in Clanton hoog doet oplopen. Het herziene testament roept meer vragen op dan dat het antwoorden oplevert. Waarom zou Hubbard zijn volledige kapitaal nalaten aan zijn huishoudster? Was hij door de chemotherapie en pijnstillers niet meer in staat helder na te denken? En wat heeft dit alles te maken met een stuk land dat ooit bekendstond als 'Sycamore Row'?
