Publisher Description
When Sir Law stumbles over a dead body, he and Cormac the minstrel join forces in their first mystery together!
Scotland, 1424. Returned from war, wounded and penniless, Sir Law is thrust into a mire of treachery and lies when he takes a job to find a nobleman's runaway wife. He is none too sure that a minstrel can help, but Cormac is hard to turn down. Soon, they discover that nothing and no one is what they seem as they navigate the deepening mystery. Nor did they expect the bodies to pile up—or for their lives to be on the line...
Fans of historical mysteries will love this page-turning medieval mystery from a master storyteller, perfect for fans of Paul Doherty, Ellis Peters, and C.J. Sansom.

Intriguing Scottish mystery
Caught my attention from the first, maybe because of ancestors from Scotland, so I loved the history behind the story. Made real the type of living for most classes of people in post war Scotland, made me so glad I live here and now. Law and the sheriff had a powerful sense of human nature so they were able to divine past and possible future actions from tales told and observations. Would like to know who ended up with cross. Possibly the King of England?
