Présentation de l'éditeur
1195. Prince John plots to seize the throne from his brother, Richard the Lionheart - and in his wicked schemes he is supported by King Philip of France who offers to help John financially by sending him a mysterious alchemist, a Mohammedan named Nizam, who claims to be able to turn base metals into gold. But the ship which was transporting Nizam and his retainers to the Devon tin mines is found wrecked off the south Devon coast, its crew savagely slaughtered.
Shortly afterwards, Sir Peter le Calve, a Norman knight living near Exeter, is foully murdered, being part-crucified and beheaded, his head stuck on the roodscreen of the cathedral.
It's up to Sir John de Wolfe, the county coroner, to find a motive and connection between the killlings. And just what is his unscrupulous brother-in-law, the disgraced ex-sheriff and known Prince John-sympathiser, Richard de Revelle, trying to hide?
Quatrième de couverture
Praise for the Crowner John mysteries
'Crowner John is a splendid character, full of imperfections and faults, but ultimately the triumphing hero' Evening Standard
'Detection and suspense are combined with historical authenticity' Daily Mail
'Bernard Knight sets his crime novels in a brilliantly described West Country of the late 12th century ... Packed with the sights, sounds and smells of medieval England, the Crowner John series is a national treasure' Mike RIpley, Birmingham Post
'Bernard Knight writes extremely well ... Even the most unpleasant characters somehow win your sympathy, perhaps partly due to the loving detail which Knight gives us about the city and its dubious levels of hygiene' Michael Jecks
'Bernard Knight brings medieval Exeter to life with gritty realism, smells and all, but with an underlying sympathy and humour' Historical Novels Review

Prince John still plots to seize the throne from his brother, Richard the Lionheart - and in his wicked schemes he is actively supported by King Philip of France who offers to help John financially by sending him a mysterious alchemist, a Mohammedan named Nizam, who claims to be able to turn base metals into solid gold. But the ship which was transporting Nizam and his retainers to the Devon tin mines is found wrecked off the south Devon coast, its crew savagely slaughtered. Shortly afterwards, Sir Peter le Calve, a Norman knight living near Exeter, is foully murdered, being part-crucified and beheaded, his head stuck on the roodscreen of the cathedral.
