Book
Falconer and the Ritual of Death
First published 2008
Oxford, 1271. Demolition work exposes a headless skeleton sealed in the foundations of an old building. A ring suggests that the victim was connected to a missing Templar and to events in 1250, when Falconer first arrived in the city.
When one of the discoverers is murdered, the old case becomes an immediate threat. Falconer’s inquiry leads through royal demands on Oxford’s Jewish community, renewed accusations of ritual murder and colleagues who would prefer the past to remain buried.
