Description
Dark Serpent is the 18th novel in the Hugh Corbett Mysteries series by Paul Doherty. In the summer of 1311, Hugh Corbett is summoned to meet the King to be congratulated on his work, but he soon finds himself embroiled in a complex and deadly mystery. A close friend, Ralph Grandison, a leper, has been found dead in a rowing boat, with a poison dagger that once belonged to the Crown Jewels thrust through his chest. As Corbett investigates, he discovers that other patients at the hospital where Ralph was staying have also been targeted, and the killer seems to be targeting former knights of the Royal household. With the risk of disease and the use of any means necessary to kill, Corbett must navigate a treacherous path to uncover the truth and survive.
