Publisher's Synopsis
On St Matthew's Day 1303 the lecherous Lord Henry Fitzalan is shot dead during a hunt. Infamous for his midnight trysts with witches, he had few friends, so when Hugh Corbett is asked to find his murderer there is no shortage of suspects. Chief among these is Robert Verlian, whose daughter had been the object of Lord Henry's roving eye, and Sir William, the dead man's brother. Would Sir William kill to inherit the estate he covets? When the truth is revealed it is more terrible than anyone could have imagined... "Master storyteller" TIME OUT
