Introducing 14th century poet Geoffrey Chaucer as a memorable new
amateur sleuth in the first of an ingeniously-conceived medieval
mystery series. April, 1380. About to set off on his annual
pilgrimage, Comptroller of the King's Woollens and court poet
Geoffrey Chaucer is forced to abandon his plans following an appeal
for help from an old friend. The Duke of Clarence, Chaucer's former
guardian, has been found dead in his bed at his Suffolk castle, his
bedroom door locked and bolted from the inside. The man who found
him, Sir Richard Glanville, suspects foul play and has asked
Chaucer to investigate. On arrival at Clare Castle, Chaucer finds
his childhood home rife with bitter rivalries, ill-advised love
affairs and dangerous secrets. As he questions the castle's
inhabitants, it becomes clear that more than one member of the
Duke's household had reason to wish him ill. But who among them is
a cold-hearted killer? It's up to Chaucer, with his sharp wits and
eye for detail, to root out the evil within.
