Sir Goeffrey Mappestone uncovers a plot to overthrow King Henry I
in this absorbing 12th century mystery. March 1102, and Robert de
Belleme, the Black Earl of Shrewsbury, is summoned to appear before
King Henry's Easter Court, to answer for siding with the King's
older brother, the Duke of Normandy, in an attempt to steal the
King's throne. Meanwhile, in the crowded and dangerous streets of
Southwark, south of the river Thames, Crusader Knights Sir Geoffrey
Mappestone and the hearty Sir Roger of Durham witness a man
murdered by hanging from the window of the Crusader's Arms Inn. But
this is not just any man, he is the illegitimate nephew of Robert
de Belleme, and had apparently been holding a meeting with two
mysterious men. In fact, it turns out the inn has been used for
many meetings of the earl's spies, and there are plans afoot to
obtain a terrible weapon to use against the King, one that the
Crusader Knights remember with a terrible fear from the Siege of
Jerusalem Greek Fire. Solving the murder is only the first step in
uncovering the plot against the King.
