Synopsis
January 1325, London near Thorney Island. An assassin is observing Westminster. He's on his way to meet with his lord and master, Hugh le Despenser. At the New Temple, he learns who he's being asked to kill. There are feverish moves afoot. To maintain peace, the French king is demanding he receives homage from King Edward II in Paris. The king is unwilling because he shrewdly suspects that as soon as he leaves England, his friend and lover Hugh le Despenser will be murdered. Instead he allows counsellors to suggest that the queen should go in his place. As the sister of the French king, she should be in a better position to negotiate for him. But no sooner has the decision been made then the assassin himself is found murdered near the Queen's chamber. Despenser asks Sir Baldwin Furnshill, Keeper of the King's Peace and his friend Bailiff Simon Puttock to do all they can to find the man who killed his assassin. But the mystery gets darker when a second man is found dead, one of the queen's cooks, and Simon and Baldwin realise that there is someone else who is seeking to defend the queen!

Baldwin and Simon must risk their own lives to protect the Queen of England, in this cleverly plotted medieval mystery.
1325: England is a hotbed of paranoia under the reign of the increasingly unpredictable Edward II and his lover, Sir Hugh le Despenser. When the Queens lady-in-waiting is slaughtered and a mans body, hideously mutilated, is discovered behind the throne, the King demands to be avenged. Sir Baldwin de Furnshill, an experienced investigator of murders, is appointed to track down the killer, aided by his friend, Simon Puttock. In an age of corruption, when the kings friends can use torture, blackmail and murder to promote their ends, a rural knight and bailiff must fight to stay alive.
