October 1143. A skilled archer kills from concealment and vanishes into the woods, while a train of pack mules disappears from the salt road out of Wich. When a lord is murdered in circumstances that connect the attacks, Sheriff William de Beauchamp sends Bradecote and Catchpoll to discover whether robbery, feud or organised violence lies behind them.
Walkelin joins the investigation as Catchpoll’s eager apprentice. The three men encounter a reeve determined to keep his position, a widow demanding vengeance and local lords protecting their own interests. Identifying the archer is not enough: they must find the person directing the killings and understand why control of trade and woodland has become worth repeated murder.
