Introducing reluctant spy and friar-sleuth Brother Rodric Chandler
in the first of a brand-new medieval mystery series. London. July,
1399. As rumours spread that his ambitious cousin, Henry
Bolingbroke, has returned from exile in France, King Richard's grip
on the English throne grows ever more precarious. Meanwhile, the
body of a young woman is discovered at Dowgate sluice. When it's
established that the dead woman was a novice from nearby Barking
Abbey, the coroner calls in his friend, Brother Chandler, to
investigate. Who would cut the throat of a young nun and throw her
remains in the river? And what was she doing outside the confines
of the priory in the first place? Secretly acting as a spy for
Henry Bolingbroke, Chandler is torn by conflicting loyalties and
agonising self-doubt. As the king's cousin marches towards Wales
and England teeters on the brink of civil war, Chandler's
investigations will draw him into affairs of state - and endanger
not only himself but all those around him.
