When the Earl of Chester's hawk is killed in the Forest of Delamere, Delchard and Bret, called from Winchester to settle disputes between the Church and the State, uncover the threat of a Welsh uprising. Then there is a second death in the Forest. The Earl of Chester is enraged when his hawk is killed by an arrow in the Forest of Delamere. When two poachers are caught nearby, he orders their immediate execution. Ralph Delchard and Gervase Bret arrive in Cheshire to settle a series of land disputes brought to light during the compilation of the Domesday book. Then a body is found in the forest, shot by an arrow, and it is clear the earl may have dispensed justice a little too hastily. Delchard and Bret are determined to unmask the killer before they can take deadly aim again.
