The Malice of Unnatural Death
It is 1324, and the kingdom is in uproar.
Roger Mortimer was once the King's most able commander but now he is his most hated enemy. Escaping from the Tower, Mortimer made his way to France, and has hired an assassin to murder the King.
Others have the same idea. In Coventry a special assassin has been paid: a necromancer called John. But just as his plans begin to succeed, the plot is uncovered, and John must escape to a smaller, less well-known city: Exeter.
And as the body of a local craftsman and that of a King's messenger are found in the city's streets, Sir Baldwin de Furnshill, the Keeper of the King's Peace, and his friend, Bailiff Simon Puttock, are asked by the Bishop to find out who was responsible. The dead messenger was carrying a dangerous secret and the Bishop is desperate to have his message returned to him before anyone else discovers its contents.
Baldwin and Simon are reluctant to get involved, but the politics of the nation are growing ever more insistent, and the two must find the murderer before he can strike again.
But when murderers can use magic, no one is safe ...
