City of Fiends
First published 2012
Exeter, 1327. Edward II has escaped from custody, and Baldwin and Simon ride to report their failure. They reach a city already divided by the killing of a clergyman and a servant, deaths that threaten renewed conflict within the cathedral close and municipal community.
The investigation unfolds as the new government attempts to establish Edward III’s reign while rumours about the former king remain dangerous. Baldwin and Simon must reconcile conflicting witnesses and political interests before Exeter’s factions turn two murders into wider public violence.
