Und zweitens: er hängt mit dem Verschwinden von zwei Kindern in seinem Alter und letztlich mit seinem eigenen Leben zusammen... aber so ganz scheinen die zwei Kinder doch nicht verschwunden zu sein - etwas von ihnen ist zurück geblieben auf Aswarby Hall.

Relata la historia del reverendo Somerton, un erudito medievalista, quien decide narrar cómo descubrió las inquietantes pistas del tesoro de un desgraciado abad mientras investigaba en la biblioteca de la abadía. El vínculo entre el horror y los sitios sagrados, particularmente las iglesias, abadías y monasterios, es algo que acompaña a este autor -también erudito, también medievalista-.
