An intriguing medieval mystery featuring Brother Athelstan
February, 1381. London lies frozen in the grip of one of the
bitterest winters on record. The ever-rising taxes demanded by the
Regent, John of Gaunt, are causing increasing resentment among the
city's poor. When the seething unrest boils over into a bloody
massacre at a splendid Southwark tavern, The Candle Flame, in which
nine people, including Gaunt's tax collectors, their military
escort and the prostitutes entertaining them, are brutally
murdered, the furious Regent orders Brother Athelstan to get to the
bottom of the matter. For not only has Gaunt's treasure trove been
stolen, he has reason to believe a French spy is active along the
Thames, carefully recording for his masters in the Louvre the state
of English war cogs. And a professional assassin, Beowulf, who has
sworn vengeance against Gaunt and his minions, also stalks the
shadows. Once again, Athelstan must enter the murky world of
murder, where the darkness constantly shifts and no one is who or
what they seem.
