In 1196, Richard I summons John from Devon to Westminster as Coroner of the Verge. With the king fighting Philip II in France, John enters a royal household divided by patronage, corruption and competing loyalties.

The daylight murder of a palace clerk and the disposal of his body in the Thames suggest a conspiracy against Richard’s government. As Eleanor of Aquitaine prepares to visit court, John must identify the officials aiding the plot and prevent an attack that could turn factional intrigue into a national crisis.
