A sober and troubled minister to thieves and prostitutes, it is Brother Athelstan's penance to serve as clerk to Sir John Cranston - the corpulent, ill-mannered London coroner with an insatiable appetite for bowl and bottle. Thus it falls to the young Dominican monk and his bilious master to investigate the foul murder of merchant prince Sir Thomas Springall...and the ghastly related killings that follow soon after - pursuing sinister secrets from the pitiless slums to the splendidly barbarous English court, where villainous royal intrigue will more than likely leave them done to death.
