Product Description

Product Description

In autumn 1379, the power of the crown is invested in John of Gaunt, and the kingdom is seething with discontent. The French are attacking the southern ports and peasants are planning a revolt organised by a mysterious leader who proclaims himself ‘IRA DEI’, the anger of God. In London, Gaunt's plans are plunged into chaos by a series of bloody murders. In desperation, Gaunt turns to Sir John Cranston to catch the assassin and recover a vanished king’s ransom in gold. Cranston naturally calls on his ally, Brother Athelstan. They face threats and attack from the powerful as well as from the seedy underworld of medieval London, not to mention a chilling exorcism, as they try to bring order to their own lives and a subtle murderer to justice.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Fourth Book in the Series, 30 Oct 2006
By J. Chippindale (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
This is the fourth book in the Sorrowful Mysteries of Brother Athelstan series. This novel combined with the early books in the Hugh Corbett series is one of Paul Doherty's earlier offerings and he has since written many more books and is now an established author of medieval novels and has also added a number of novels on Egypt to his ever growing list of titles. Having said that it is one of his earlier offerings does not mean that it is inferior to his current books, quite the opposite. The Hugh Corbett mysteries were and are extremely popular and Paul Doherty has found another winner with the Brother Athelstan series.

The year is 1379, England is a seething mass of discontent. John of Gaunt has the English crown and the English are less than happy with this hard and domineering man who has grabbed at the opportunity to rule as Regent. So much so that the peasants are planning a revolt. The revolt is being organised through a network of go betweens and Brother Athelstan is worried that some of his parishioners may have been ill advised and secretly joined those who wish to bring John of Gaunt down.

When some of Gaunt's plans are foiled by a series of murders the Regent is incensed and calls on the services of Sir John Cranston and his friend and secretary Brother Athelstan to assist in solving the crimes.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Anger of God by Paul Doherty (secondhand), 6 Feb 2005
By Mr. R. C. Whiffen (Bucks, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I ordered a number of secondhand books from various sellers on Amazon. They all arrived within a few days and in good condition. A very good service and very good value! I was asked to post a note by Ian McKenzie, one of the sellers who gave me an excellent service, and I am pleased to do so. I will certainly be ordering again in the future. Keep up the good work.
