About this ebook
Shortly before his unexpected coronation, King Richard passed a law letting all of England's prisoners go free.
Shortly afterwards a young nun is found, gruesomely murdered. Richard swiftly employs an old military colleague of his, Josse d'Acquin, to unravel this hideous mystery. Who could have wanted to kill this innocent young novice, and, more worryingly, why?

This duo have to find the murderer, and find him quickly, or they'll have the King of England to answer to...
