The second book in the critically acclaimed medieval mystery series
featuring Sir Geoffrey Mappestone In the year 1101, Sir Geoffrey
Mappestone returns to his home at Goodrich Castle on the Welsh
border. He is travelling in the company of a knight who claims to
be carrying an urgent message for King Henry I. When the knight is
killed during an ambush, Geoffrey feels obliged to deliver the
message to the King himself, but quickly regrets his decision when
the King orders him to spy on his own family in order to ferret out
a dangerous traitor. Geoffrey returns home to find his father
gravely ill and his older brothers and sister each determined to
inherit the Mappestone estate. Geoffrey's father claims he is being
poisoned by one of his own children, a claim no one takes seriously
until he is found murdered with his own knife in the dead of night.
Geoffrey's investigation of the murder, however, takes him far
beyond a family quarrel. Accusations are flying, and Geoffrey must
prove his own innocence in the face of greed and fear. The
villainous Earl of Shrewsbury is clearly implicated, and as
Geoffrey delves deeper, he discovers a plot that reaches far beyond
the realm of Goodrich Castle to that of the entire kingdom: the
assassination of the King.
