Issac is a blind Jewish physician in the 1350's in Girona, Spain. The first tale in the series deals with political intrigues, attempts to kill off heirs to the throne that miss and things of that nature. A nun is supposedly killed but further investigation shows it wasn't a nun at all, but a political plotter dressed like one. Issac uses his heightened sense of hearing and smell to help solve the crimes. Well-plotted mystery, excellent historical detail and I didn't guess the killer!
