Brother Athelstan and coroner Sir John Cranston investigate a killing that reaches into the political and commercial life of Richard II’s London. The trail leads among powerful men whose public loyalties conceal private fears, while unrest in the city makes every accusation more dangerous. Athelstan’s knowledge of his parish and Cranston’s access to official circles give them different pieces of a case in which murder is bound to rivalry, secrecy and the struggle for influence.
