Description
A murder in a small village outside York sets off a chain of events that challenges the understanding of justice in 12th-century England. Clerk to the justices, Aelred Barling, and his young assistant, Hugo Stanton, are tasked with investigating a brutal killing. However, as more bodies are discovered, the case becomes increasingly complex, and the suspects multiply. The villagers are growing restless, demanding swift justice, but the truth behind the murders remains elusive. As Stanton and Barling delve deeper into the mystery, they must navigate the treacherous landscape of village politics and the fury of the lord of the manor. Can they uncover the truth before they become the next victims? This is the first book in a historical mystery series that explores the intricacies of justice in medieval England.
