A blood-curdling murder in the minster grounds proves to be a difficult case for Owen Archer when a young witness goes missing.
York, 1365 . The Corpus Christi Day pageant is winding down when Owen Archer is summoned to see John Thoresby, Archbishop of York. Wool merchant Will Crounce has been violently murdered – his throat slit and his right hand cut off. Terrified eight-year-old, Jasper de Melton, saw it all – including the woman in a hooded cloak who led Crounce to his death.
A MYSTERIOUS WOMAN. A GRUESOME WARNING.
The archbishop wants Owen to speak to Gilbert Ridley, a fellow mercer who was seen arguing with Will the night he died. But when Ridley dines with the archbishop in recognition of his generous gift to the minster’s Lady Chapel, a terrible event follows.
YOU CAN RUN, BUT YOU CAN’T HIDE . . .
Where are the mysterious woman and young Jasper? As Owen attempts to unlock the mystery, he uncovers a deadly conspiracy that leads to the upper echelons of power.
