Sleuthing monk Brother Athelstan discovers that past crimes can
cause new murder in the latest intriguing medieval mystery June,
1381. The rebel armies are massed outside London, determined to
overturn both Crown and Church. The Regent, John of Gaunt, has
headed north, leaving his nephew, the boy-king Richard II,
unprotected. Brother Athelstan meanwhile has been summoned to the
monastery at Blackfriars, tasked with solving the murder of his
fellow priest, Brother Alberic, found stabbed to death in his
locked chamber. Athelstan would rather be protecting his
parishioners at St Erconwald's. Instead, he finds himself
investigating a royal murder that took place fifty-four years
earlier whilst the rebel leaders plot the present king's
destruction. What does the fate of the king's great-grandfather,
Edward II, have to do with the murder of Brother Alberic more than
fifty years later? When he finds his own life under threat,
Athelstan discovers that exposing past secrets can lead to present
danger.
