A terrible power struggle threatens the very core of Britain...In
1376, the Black Prince dies of a terrible sickness, closely
followed by his father, King Edward III in 1377. The crown of
England is left in the hands of a mere boy, and the great nobles
gather like hungry wolves round the empty throne. Soon the prelates
of the church and the powerful Merchant Princes of London are drawn
in. One of these, Sir Thomas Springall, is foully murdered within a
few days of the old king's death. Sir John Cranston, the coroner of
London, is ordered to investigate. He is assisted by Brother
Athelstan, a penitent Dominican monk. From the sinister slums of
Whitefriars to the barbaric splendour of the English Court,
Cranston and Athelstan are drawn into a dark and terrifying web of
intrigue... The first in a scintillating historical mystery series,
perfect for fans of C. J. Sansom, Susanna Gregory and S. J. Parris.
