Description

Sir Hugh Corbett's latest case is a complex web of murder and deceit. In 1312, the Keeper of the Secret Seal returns to Westminster to find the royal clerk dead, poisoned in a locked chamber. As the investigation unfolds, Corbett discovers a connection between the murder and a series of disappearances at the Convent of Saint Sulpice. His pursuit of the truth leads him to a high-class brothel and its enigmatic owner, Mother Midnight. With his life threatened and challenged to a duel, Corbett must use his wit and ingenuity to unravel the mystery and bring justice to those responsible. As Corbett navigates the treacherous landscape of medieval politics and crime, he faces a formidable foe in the ruthless assassins who seek to silence him. With the help of his loyal henchmen, Ranulf and Chanson, Corbett must stay one step ahead of his enemies and uncover the truth behind the sinister plot. Paul Doherty's gripping medieval mystery is a thrilling tale of murder, mayhem, and intrigue, sure to appeal to fans of historical crime fiction.
