The 14th gripping murder mystery to feature 12th century coroner, Crowner John
With the city of Exeter ravaged by an outbreak of the "yellow plague," Sir John de Wolfe, the county coroner, must divide his time between visiting his sick brother, William, who has been struck down by the disease, and dealing with a series of brutal murders that appears to be linked to a revival of heresy in the city. When some of the cathedral canons begin a crusade against this danger to the Church, Sir John finds himself accused of being too sympathetic to the heretics, bringing him into conflict with the ecclesiastic authorities. As the situation worsens, the coroner must seek sanctuary in order to save his skin. Can he survive long enough to unmask the real killer?Le informazioni nella sezione "Riassunto" possono far riferimento a edizioni diverse di questo titolo.
'This highly enjoyable series has reached that happy stage where it is as entertaining to read about what the various characters are up to as it is to read of a fresh serial killer on the rampage. The murders in this book take a back seat much of the time, and instead the reader is treated to the latest chapter of goings-on in John’s inharmonious ménage, at the Bush, in Dawlish, Stoke and more. It is also a vivid picture of an age when the church ruled and often clashed with the state, and when being merely suspected of heresy was to be in a very dangerous position indeed, whoever you were. Towards the end of the tale the pace quickens and it all gets very exciting – and unexpected – indeed, reinforcing my enthusiasm for this long running but evergreen series. There really is a lot to enjoy in here for many reasons.' www.myshelf.com
