Description
The Lincolnshire fens are home to many secrets and stories. One legend tells of Sir Geoffrey Mandeville's ghost galloping through the marshes with a retinue of ghastly horsemen, accompanied by the shrill blast of a hunting horn and the eerie glow of corpse candles.
When Abbot Stephen, a close friend of the King, is found dead, the abbey's comfortable life is disrupted. Sir Hugh Corbett, Keeper of the King's Seal, arrives to investigate and uncover the truth behind the abbot's murder.
This gripping mystery, set in 13th-century England, combines historical intrigue with a thrilling whodunit plot. Will Sir Hugh be able to unravel the tangled threads of deception and uncover the identity of the killer?
