Publisher Description

Will the death of a prominent knight lead to the Bishop of Winchester’s downfall? Owen Archer investigates threats, scandal and murder after Sir Ranulf Pagnell dies in France.

York, 1371. William of Wykeham, Bishop of Winchester, has made many enemies since York knight Sir Ranulf Pagnell died imprisoned in France while Wykeham negotiated his ransom. After escorting Sir Ranulf’s body back to the city, Wykeham realizes that his own life is in grave danger.

VENGEANCE IS COMING . . .

The bishop’s woes increase when one of his properties in the city is set alight, with horrific consequences. Was it a thoughtless act of revenge or a deliberate murder? Why was someone searching for important documents in the house just before the fire, including those linked to the Pagnells?

A DEADLY DECEPTION.

As Owen investigates, he uncovers a shocking secret linked to Sir Ranulf’s terrible fate. A secret someone is prepared to go to any lengths to keep hidden . . .

The Cross-Legged Knight Reviews

3.5
“Nachdem ich vor einigen Monaten Band eins beendet hatte, beschloss ich, der Reihe noch eine Chance zu geben. Das Buch war damals für mich "ganz ok" gewesen - aber reicht das aus, um eine acht oder neun Bände lange Reihe zu lesen? Antwort: nein. Denn obwohl ich nun Band acht gelesen habe, hatte ich nicht das Gefühl, dass sich die Figuren gross weiterentwickelt haben. Sie schienen grösstenteils immer noch dieselben zu sein wie sieben Bücher zuvor. Deswegen war dieses Buch für mich sogar etwas weniger als ok. Und das ist auch der Grund, weshalb ich diese Reihe definitiv nicht weiterlesen werde. Denn "ganz ok" reicht definitiv nicht dafür aus.”
