When King Edward II is told that his wife has defied him & remained in France with their son, the king flies into a rage. It is Sir Baldwin de Furnshill & his friend Simon Puttock, who have broken the news to him & are no longer in the king's favour. They return to their homes in Devon, but find that outlaws hold sway in the land. The new riveting novel from the West Country's medieval crime master Michael Jecks. King Edward II is furious when he learns that his wife Queen Isabella has defied him and remains in France with their son. As the unfortunate messengers of this unhappy news, Sir Baldwin de Furnshill, Keeper of the King's Peace, and his friend, bailiff Simon Puttock, are instantly dismissed from court. Returning to their homes in Devon, the pair are shocked to find that outlaws now hold sway in the land. As the chaos escalates, the bodies of two clerics are found among a party of travellers, all of them - men, women and children - savagely murdered...
