Paul Doherty's twenty-fifth enthralling medieval mystery is sure to appeal to fans of C. J. Sansom, E. M. Powell and Bernard Cornwell.
The twenty-fifth enthralling Hugh Corbett medieval mystery from Paul Doherty, perfect for fans of C. J. Sansom, E. M. Powell and Bernard Cornwell.
January 1313. As London is gripped by a freezing winter, Sir Hugh Corbett becomes embroiled in a ghoulish game of kings played out between the English and French courts.
Years earlier, Corbett prevented a gang of rifflers from breaking into the Royal Treasury, but the leading chieftain, Sarasin, escaped. Now Sarasin is caught killing a squire of Queen Isabella's and Corbett swiftly has the riffler tried and hanged from the signpost of The Twilight tavern.
The matter should have ended there but more mayhem ensues as, one by one, those who helped bring Sarasin to trial are gruesomely murdered. Behind all this is an individual calling himself the Immortal. He swears the most bloody vengeance against Corbett and all those who support the royal clerk, and, as danger dogs Corbett's every footstep, he must act quickly to prevent further bloodshed.
What readers say about Paul Doherty:
'Paul Doherty's depictions of medieval England are truly outstanding'
'Another brilliant story in the excellent Hugh Corbett series by a superb historical author'
'Good plots, clever twists and mostly impossible to work out'
