London, 1196. At the command of Richard the Lionheart, Sir John de Wolfe has left his beloved West Country for the Palace of Westminster, where he has been appointed Coroner of the Verge. But with the king overseas, embroiled in a costly war against King Philip of France, Sir John is dismayed to discover that the English court is a hotbed of greed, corruption and petty in-fighting. The murder of one of the palace clerks, stabbed in broad daylight and thrown into the River Thames, leads John to suspect that there's a conspiracy underway to overthrow King Richard. And with the visit of the dowager Queen Eleanor fast approaching, the new Coroner must risk his life to prove his suspicions are right, root out the traitors within and prevent a national catastrophe.
This is how ereryone should be taught history, cracking romp in the 1190s
Bernard Knight is a great story teller, takes you back to 1190 warts an all. Part of a series of 14 paper backs, every one a stand alone but get the full set.
One of the series of stories about 12th century 'Crowner' John de Wolfe. This is not one of the best stories. I think the plot struggles a bit in places. Still worth 5 stars though
