A Tournament Of Murders (U) - Hardcover
'Doherty seldom belabors the setting, choosing instead to let time and place gently wash over his audience as he offers subtle observations.' - PUBLISHERS WEEKLY 'An entertaining and intriguing blend of atmosphere and suspense.' - Booklist As Chaucer's pilgrims settle for the night, the Franklin narrates a bloody tale...In 1356, the Black Prince has won his resounding victory at Poitiers, but the impoverished knight Gilbert Savage has received his death wound. As Gilbert lies dying, he tells his squire, Richard Greenele, that the story of his parents perishing during the great plague is untrue, and that Richard, if he wishes to uncover what really happened, must seek out the lawyer Hugo Coticol. Hugo holds a sealed letter which surprisingly contains a macabre confession - a heinous tale of murder which compels Richard to avenge his father's name.
