His books have been translated into more than twenty languages.
After the discovery of three savagely murdered bodies in his parish, Brother Athelstan finds himself involved in the hunt for a dangerous killer.
It is clear that two of the victims, a prostitute and a preacher, surprised an assassin who was then forced to kill them.
But who the third victim is, and why someone has gone to so much trouble to kill him, remains a mystery.
And can it really have any connection with Sir John Cranston’s attempt to save a women unjustly accused of stabbing a clerk?
Brother Athelstan returns in the ninth exciting mystery thriller in Paul Doherty’s brilliant series, perfect for fans of Bernard Cornwell, E. M. Powell and Rory Clements.
