Paul Doherty's twenty-second medieval mystery featuring Sir Hugh
Corbett is a gripping and gruesome tale of murder and mayhem sure
to appeal to fans of C. J. Sansom and Bernard Cornwell. 1312. Sir
Hugh Corbett, Keeper of the Secret Seal, has returned from the West
Country to find Westminster in chaos. Edward II has fled in an
attempt to protect his favourite from the wrath of his noblemen;
and a royal clerk has been found dead, poisoned in a locked
chamber. Drawn into a maze of murder both at Westminster and at the
Convent of Saint Sulpice, where young novices have started to
disappear, Corbett quickly establishes a connection between the two
mysteries. As other killings follow, Corbett's investigation leads
him to a high-class brothel and its sinister owner, Mother
Midnight. Challenged to a duel and hunted by a guild of ruthless
assassins, Corbett and his loyal henchmen, Ranulf and Chanson, face
a sea of troubles. And Corbett must call upon his wit and ingenuity
to halt the tide of disaster that threatens to engulf him... What
readers say about Paul Doherty: 'Good plots, clever twists and
mostly impossible to work out' 'Paul Doherty's depictions of
medieval England are truly outstanding' 'Another brilliant story in
the excellent Hugh Corbett series by a superb historical author'
