Review
"'The most wickedly plotted medieval mystery novels' - The Times"
Product Description
As the winter of 1323 descends on Dartmoor, life is bleak for the young priest in his isolated chapel. So who could blame him for accepting companionship when it is offered by the local miller's daughter, Mary? But when Mary and her unborn child are found murdered, it is obvious where the villagers will point the finger of blame. And when the priest flees the village of Gidleigh, it seems to confirm his guilt. Investigators Baldwin Furnshill, Keeper of the King's Peace, and Bailiff Simon Puttock soon begin to have their doubts, as it seems that Mary was far from the simple girl she seemed. In their search for the truth, Baldwin and Simon unwittingly put themselves in the greatest danger they have ever faced.
