A richly imagined 14th century mystery featuring sleuthing friar
Brother Athelstan Summer, 1381. The Great Revolt has been crushed;
the king's peace ruthlessly enforced. Brother Athelstan meanwhile
is preparing for a pilgrimage to St Thomas a Becket's shrine in
Canterbury to give thanks for the wellbeing of his congregation
after the violent rebellion. But preparations are disrupted when
Athelstan is summoned to a modest house in Cheapside, scene of a
brutal triple murder. One of the victims was the chief clerk of the
Secret Chancery of John of Gaunt. Could this be an act of revenge
by the Upright Men, those rebels who survived the Great Revolt? At
the same time Athelstan is receiving menacing messages from an
assassin who calls himself Azrael, the Angel of Death? Who is he -
and why is he targeting a harmless friar? Could Athelstan's
pilgrimage be leading him into a deadly trap?
