Publisher Description
The death of a scholar, the birth of a detective...
Oxford, Spring 1353. When young bookseller Nicholas Elyot discovers the body of William Farringdon floating in the River Cherwell, all the signs point to suicide.
Soon, however, Nicholas discovers evidence of murder. Who could have wanted to kill this promising student? As Nicholas and his close friend Jordain try to unravel what lies behind William’s death, they learn that he was innocently caught up in a criminal plot.
When their investigations begin to involve town, university, and abbey, Nicholas takes a risky gamble – and puts his family in terrible danger in order to uncover the truth.
A thrilling historical mystery full of twists and intrigue, perfect for fans of Ellis Peters, Paul Doherty and E. M. Powell.
Customer Reviews
So glad to be here in Oxford in the 14th century
Because I felt like I was right there, living in 1354 or whatever, knowing what the bookseller knew of life, living his life, worrying about the things he worried about, and solving what turned out to be a murder of one of the Oxford scholars he had known.
Wonderful
This is so well written and informative. We don’t see this type of writing any more. Good story and clean language. I would like to read the others in this series.
Good!
Fun read
