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.

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.
