A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

Roger, Squire of Throwleigh, dies in late spring, 1321. His widow Lady Katharine, blames her five-year-old son Herbert for his death. As the new heir to a vast and wealthy estate, this is bad news, since without his mother's protection he is extremely vulnerable.
Sir Baldwin Furnshill and Bailiff Simon Puttock, friends of the Squire, attend his funeral, and instantly concern builds as they become aware of little Herbert's vulnerability.
A few days later, Herbert is reported dead. Everything points to the conclusion that he was run over by a horse and cart, but foul play is suspected by Baldwin. As he and Simon start to delve deeper into what happened, they become convinced of Herbert's murder.
With so many possible suspects, their investigation will be difficult. Little do they know that it will lead them to the most horrifying and disturbing murder of all...
'Vivid imagination and gripping prose - exactly what I expected from Michael Jecks' - Anthony Riches
