The author wrote three books concerning the same fictional character, Stephen Attebrook.  He is  a knight and former soldier in the year 1262. Although he is a knight he did not inherit  land or wealth. He was fortunate because of his title and family connections to be appointed as the King's coroner  in Ludlow, England.  His job was to investigate all deaths in this city.I  highly recommend this book ! It is not only a  good murder mystery but will give  you some insight in to how people lived in medieval England. The story is well written and moves right along. I so enjoyed this book (in my Kindle) that I  bought his other two books: A Dreadful Penance, and Baynard's List. All three books are centered around the life of Richard Attebrooke, buy this one first, as it is the first in the series.
