Product Description
Product Description
Baldwin Furnshill and Balliff Simon Puttock have been granted leave to go on pilgrimage. Together they travel across Europe to Portugal, but danger seems to follow them even this far afield, as they are among the first on the scene when a beautiful young girl is found brutally raped and murdered on the hillside of Santiago de Compostela. Baldwin and Simon lend their investigative skills to the ensuing enquiry headed by the local pesquisidore, Munio. With so many keen minds on the case it can only be a matter of time before the culprit is found. But they are reckoning without the unexpected appearance of a face from Baldwin's past - a face which looks set to threaten both the investigation and, it seems increasingly likely, Baldwin's very future.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
It is summer 1323, Sir Baldwin and Simon are about to leave on a pilgrimage. They are going to travel across Europe to Santiago de Compostela. Foreign travel is dangerous even for well armed men, and attacks on pilgrims are common place, but an even greater menace hangs over the city of Santiago.
For those who have not ready any of Michael Jecks medieval novels I can recommend them heartily. This novel takes Simon and Sir Baldwin away from their West Country environment but loses nothing of its mystery and suspense. If you like medieval mysteries, these are as good as any around.

Jecks is a fantastic writer of medieval murder mystery who has only gotten better over time. If you are new to this author, you may find yourself searching for the first in this series. Then you will work to the most recent tomb and be amazed that he only gets better over time. Jecks is truly a credit to good research and writing. I have seen his work in a group writing effort and his share stands out amongst his co-authors. If you like Jecks, tell a friend and take the time to write a brief review. I don't give away content, just tell you that compared to others who write in this period Jecks is by far the best!
