A series of grisly deaths are linked to the sacred Stone of Scone
in this compelling medieval mystery featuring friar-sleuth Brother
Athelstan. "This abbey is a strange place, Brother Athelstan. A
hall of ghosts, a place of flitting shadows. The dead throng here.
I can hear them whispering as they ride the air." During the harsh
winter of 1381 murder stalks the streets of London in all its
grisly forms. The city's prostitutes are falling prey to a silent,
deadly assassin known as The Flayer who carefully peels his
victims' skins for his collection. At the same time, Westminster
Abbey, which houses the sacred Stone of Scone, is plagued by a
series of hideous poisonings. Could there be a connection between
these brutally violent deaths and the stone, which the English
crown cherishes as a symbol of its rule over Scotland? Then there
are the two former Upright Men, leaders of the Great Revolt, who
are found mysteriously hanged in the Piebald Tavern, close to
Brother Athelstan's parish church of St Erconwald - and Athelstan
is faced with his most baffling investigation to date. Can he
navigate this deadly maze of murder and intrigue and pull the
various threads together?
