Cup of Blood: A Medieval Noir: A Crispin Guest Medieval Noir Prequel (Volume 7)
"Jeri Westerson is an original, and her "medieval noir" novels starring Crispin Guest, a disgraced knight turned investigator, are unique and fresh.  CUP OF BLOOD starts like a clap of thunder and expands to include the long-banished Knights Templar and other 14th-century skullduggery, and Crispin maintains his standing as one of today's (and yesterday's) most engaging private eyes. I loved it!" -- Timothy Hallinan, author of the Poke Rafferty Bangkok thrillers and the Junior Bender mysteries.~~~~~~                                                           “Westerson continues to provide unusual historical detail, offbeat characters and a well-integrated puzzle.” – Kirkus on Shadow of the Alchemist~~~~ "Another riveting tale of honor and heroism, grounded in period detail.” –Richmond Times-Dispatch on Blood Lance~~~~~ “The Agatha Christie–like solution will please puzzle buffs, while series fans will welcome the author’s efforts to further flesh out the lead and his apprentice, Jack Tucker.” –Publishers Weekly on Troubled Bones~~~~~ Los Angeles native and award-winning author Jeri Westerson writes the critically acclaimed Crispin Guest Medieval Noir mysteries.
