1311. Murder and mayhem prowl the highways and coffin paths of
Medieval England . . . Hugh Corbett returns in the twentieth
gripping mystery in Paul Doherty's ever-popular series. If you love
the historical mysteries of C. J. Sansom, E. M. Powell and Bernard
Cornwell you will love this. It is four years since the death of
King Edward I, but his reign of terror has cast long shadows over
the kingdom. At Holyrood Abbey, sheltered in the depths of the
Welsh march, the old king's former bodyguards protect his secret
relics and watch over a mysterious prisoner who is kept in the
abbey's dungeon. But their peaceful existence is shattered when
Abbot Henry is poisoned. Summoned to Holyrood, Sir Hugh Corbett,
Keeper of the Secret Seal, finds the fortress in chaos. Brothers
Anselm and Richard have been brutally slain by nails driven deep
into their skulls. No one knows who could be behind the gruesome
killings and the news attracts the attention of two unwanted
guests: the sinister Marcher Lord Mortimer and King Philip of
France's devious envoy De Craon. As more mysterious deaths occur,
and a violent snow storm sweeps through the valley, Corbett must
act quickly to identify the malevolent demon who has risen from
hell to turn the abbey into a house of murder . . . Praise for Paul
Doherty's dark and suspenseful novels: 'His fascination for history
comes off the page' Daily Express 'An opulent banquet to satisfy
the most murderous appetite' Northern Echo 'Deliciously
suspenseful, gorgeously written and atmospheric' Historical Novels
Review 'Paul Doherty has a lively sense of history . . . evocative
and lyrical descriptions' New Statesmen
