Description
A terrible power struggle threatens the very core of Britain in 1376, as the Black Prince dies of a mysterious illness, followed by his father, King Edward III, in 1377. The young king's succession is met with a gathering of powerful nobles, prelates, and Merchant Princes, who vie for influence. When Sir Thomas Springall is brutally murdered, the investigation falls to Sir John Cranston, the coroner of London, assisted by Brother Athelstan, a penitent Dominican monk. As Cranston and Athelstan delve into the dark world of intrigue, they navigate the sinister slums of Whitefriars and the barbaric splendour of the English Court. Their pursuit of truth leads them down a treacherous path, where nothing is as it seems. A gripping historical mystery, The Nightingale Gallery is a masterful tale of suspense and deception, set against the tumultuous backdrop of 14th-century England.
