Review
"* "The meticulous, well-paced plot builds to a real surprise at the end" Publishers Weekly on The Green Man * "A fine series that just keeps getting better" Booklist on The Three Kings of Cologne "This is not only a splendid social history, but a rich and satisfactory mystery to boot" Publishers Weekly on The Burgundian's Tale"

Product Description
This is the new Roger the Chapman mystery.In the summer of 1482, an English army, under the command of Richard, Duke of Gloucester, invades Scotland in order to win back the border town of Berwick-on-Tweed and to put King James the Third's renegade younger brother, the Duke of Albany, on the Scottish throne.Albany insists that his old acquaintance, Roger Chapman, be a member of his personal bodyguard, so an astonished and extremely reluctant Roger finds himself, by royal decree, a part of the invading forces.But during the march northwards, a series of sinister events, centred around the cult figure of the mythical Green Man, makes Roger question Albany's true motive for requesting his presence. And once in Edinburgh, he is called upon not only to solve a murder, again involving the Green Man, but also begins to realize that his own life could be in danger.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Medieval Mystery, 14 Jan 2008
By J. Chippindale (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
Kate Sedley's books about Roger Chapman, the pedlar come murder mystery sleuth are becoming more and more popular and rightly so. They are good entertaining reading with plots and backgrounds that have been well thought out and well researched. They are what I would call light reading (very much like the writing style of Paul Doherty or Bernard Knight, two other well known authors of medieval mysteries). I have enjoyed all of the Roger Chapman Books and this one is just as good as the rest.

This is Kate Sedley's latest book and once again features Roger the Chapman. Roger has been called upon by royalty on more than one occasion to help them with their sometime nefarious dealings. Not it has to be said, that Roger seeks out these tasks, particularly when they put his own life at risk. But in his trade as a Chapman (pedlar) he sees and visits parts of the country that most men would never set eyes on. It is a trait of the Royals that they like eyes and ears everywhere and Roger has helped them on numerous occasions.

Yet again Roger would prefer to be anywhere but where he is. It is Summer, 1482 and an English army is marching into Scotland in order to place King James III's younger brother the Duke of Albany on the throne of Scotland. Albany has insisted that Roger be a member of his own personal bodyguard. A position that Roger does not relish. He has had dealings with the Duke in the not too distant past and would much prefer to forget them rather than become involved with the man again.

Roger knows that a Royal request is tantamount to an order and that is why he is with the Duke's party on the march northwards, when a series of sinister events take place. Events that are centred around the mythical Green Man. Events that make Roger question the motive behind Albany's request for his services.
