Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: fine. First UK edition. Fine and fresh, unread copy in equally fine, illustrated dust jacket. The (true) UK first edition. Hardcover. 248 pp. The first book in this series of historical medieval mysteries set in 14th Century Britain, featuring Brother Athlestan. In 1375, the famed Black Prince, favored son of the warrior King Edward III, has died of the terrible rotting sickness. The king becomes a bitter old man, deserted by everyone, including his mistress, who robbed him of any finery for good measure. Now the crown of England is left in the hands of a young Richard II, who is quickly surrounded by vultures like Regent John of Gaunt, launching a bitter power struggle. A powerful merchant Prince of London, ensnared in the struggle, is foully murdered in his mansion within days of the king's death, and the Falstaffaian coroner is ordered to investigate. Sir John Cranston and a Dominican monk friar, Brother Athlestan, move from the lush mansions of the Strand to the seedy underworld of medieval London to unravel the dark web of intrigue.
