Theophilos, the Fool's Guild Spy, Returns in a Gripping Medieval Mystery
In Alan Gordon's latest tale of murder, mayhem, and mummery in 13th century France, Theophilos of The Fool's Guild finds himself entangled in a web of intrigue when a man claiming to be the ruling count's full brother is discovered in a Toulouse bordello beside a murdered prostitute, slain with his own sword.
As a fool by trade, a family man by choice, and a spy by design, Theophilos belongs to the secretive Fools' Guild, tasked with maintaining society's delicate balance. Alongside his family, he must now unravel the truth behind this mysterious crime that threatens to upset the fragile order in medieval Toulouse.
Masterfully blending historical detail with page-turning suspense, Gordon crafts a gripping medieval mystery that will keep readers guessing until the very end. Perfect for fans of historical mysteries set in medieval France, Parisian Prodigal is a must-read for anyone who loves a good crime fiction tale with a touch of medieval period intrigue.
