The ruthless reign of Henry IV and the clerical tyranny of
Archbishop Arundel keep Brother Chandler and his friends under
constant threat in this gripping medieval mystery featuring
friar-sleuth Rodric Chandler. Chester, 1400. Riding for his life,
with a copy of Chaucer's heretical Canterbury Tales in his
possession, friar-sleuth Brother Chandler is ambushed on the road
and wakes up in a stranger's house. Is his 'rescuer', wool merchant
John Willoughby, friend . . . or foe? Willoughby declares that he,
like Chandler, has renounced the self-crowned King Henry IV and
will help Chandler get his dangerous belongings to safety. He seems
trustworthy, but Chandler knows that if he's caught by the King's
merciless censors together with the Tales, he'll be burned at the
stake. But then Willoughby's young wife perishes in a terrible
accident at their house - or so it seems . . . Willoughby asks
Chandler to help investigate if it was indeed an accident or if
someone had a hidden agenda. All Chandler wants to do is find safe
haven for Chaucer's Tales and return to London, but he accepts the
case. Little does he know that it will lead to secrets being
uncovered which will put not only Chandler but also those around
him in unimaginable peril. The Night of the Wolf is the third book
in the Brother Chandler mystery series, following The Hour of the
Fox and The Day of the Serpent. A great read for history lovers who
enjoy puzzling murder mysteries with twists!
