The first in a series of gripping murder mysteries set in
14th-century England
1361: Orphaned by the Black Death, all John possesses are the
tools that belonged to his father, a carpenter, and an uncanny
ability to work wood. His travels bring him to Chesterfield, where
he finds work erecting the spire of the new church. But no sooner
does he begin, than the master carpenter is murdered and John
himself becomes a suspect. To prove his innocence John must help
the coroner in his search for the killer, a quest that brings him
up against some powerful enemies in a town where he is still a
stranger and friends are few. Chris Nickson brilliantly evokes the
feeling of time and place in this story of corruption and
murder.
