Product Description

London, 1196. At the command of Richard the Lionheart, Sir John de Wolfe has left his beloved West Country for the Palace of Westminster, where he has been appointed Coroner of the Verge. But with the king overseas, embroiled in a costly war against King Philip of France, Sir John is dismayed to discover that the English court is a hotbed of greed, corruption and petty in-fighting.

The murder of one of the palace clerks, stabbed in broad daylight and thrown into the River Thames, leads John to suspect that there's a conspiracy underway to overthrow King Richard. And with the visit of the dowager Queen Eleanor fast approaching, the new Coroner must risk his life to prove his suspicions are right, root out the traitors within and prevent a national catastrophe.

I have sought out everything written by Knight that is available.
He is master craftsman whether writing fiction or non-fiction.
This latest work surprised even me. It is terrific and was worth getting the hard cover version in the U.S. I can only hope that there will be more to follow in this series!

Another great read. 1 Sep 2009
Format:Paperback
Again the atmosphere of the period and the place is well described. Crowner John and his team become involved and put under pressure from more than one quarter. Murders, accusations and the politics of the Court all combine to give an excellent read and with the addition of remiinders of their former life in Devon the story progresses in several directions.

Crowner Royal 2 Sep 2009
Format:Paperback
Another excellent entry in the ongoing adventures of John de Wolfe:) Enjoyable as ever - I look forward to the next one to see where he goes next - back to being a Coroner in Exeter, or to a new position. If you liked the earlier books, you'll like this one - I did!

A good read
I have only just discovered the author Bernard Knight and this, like his other few titles I have read so far, has proved a relaxing and enjoyable read.

Crowner John overall review
This review is, anad will be, identical for any of this series, thus you will read the same on other titles. This action in no way detracts from the worth in these books. Read more

Another cracking story. If you like the other Crowner John books, this is just as good.
