Description
Brother Athelstan is back in his most baffling case yet. In January 1381, a mystery play performed by Gaunt's personal acting troupe, the Straw Men, takes a deadly turn when two VIP guests are found dead with their severed heads left on stage. The Regent orders Athelstan to find out who committed such an act, leading him to tackle his most challenging case. Athelstan must navigate the complex web of alliances and rivalries within Gaunt's court to uncover the truth behind the gruesome murders. As he delves deeper into the mystery, he will encounter unexpected twists and turns that test his skills as a detective. With its unique blend of medieval intrigue and amateur sleuth mystery, The Straw Men is a gripping tale that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
