Book
The Traitor of St Giles
First published 2000
A convicted felon has claimed sanctuary and must walk the king’s highway to the coast and permanent exile. He and a wealthy knight are later found dead, apparently after killing one another, but the knight’s horse, money and political papers have disappeared.
Baldwin and Simon reconstruct the movements of both men and discover that the knight had served as an envoy in dangerous royal business. The mystery combines sanctuary law with diplomacy and theft, asking who benefits when an outlaw can be blamed for a crime involving men far above his rank.
