Special Commission

"...a spellbinding medieval murder mystery." BOOKLIST In the middle of the 15th Century the old feudal system was giving way, and in many parts of England the mechanism of law and order had broken down entirely...In a remote, fortified manor house, the May Day celebrations are rudely interrupted when a man is found murdered. The obvious suspect, an uninvited and unwanted guest, refuses to appear before a judge and jury. The only hope of solving the crime is for the Lord Chancellor to appoint a Special Commission to look into the matter. But things are not quite as simple as that.
