Book
The King of Thieves
First published 2008
France, 1325. Baldwin and Simon join the young Prince Edward’s entourage as he performs homage to Charles IV for England’s French possessions. Isabella and Roger Mortimer have gathered opponents of the English king, and the prince’s household is placed under the queen’s control.
A murder reveals a plot capable of changing the succession and the balance between the two kingdoms. The investigators work inside a foreign court where diplomatic humiliation, family division and assassination are connected, while the prince who will become Edward III learns how little protection his rank provides.
