Hi all,
I've just submitted for proofing "The Assassin's Riddle: Being The Seventh
Of The Sorrowful Mysteries Of Brother Athelstan" by Paul Doherty.
It's been read and spell-checked. headers stripped, page numbers/chapter
titles present, fonts adjusted.
280 pages.
Description:
It is the summer of 1380 and the corpse of Edwin Chapler-clerk of the Office
of the Green Wax of the Chancery-has been pulled from the Thames. Though
Chapler's death was caused by drowning, he also received a vicious blow to
the back of the head before his plunge into the river. Bartholomew
Drayton-a usurer and money-lender-is then found dead in his strongroom, a
crossbow firmly embedded in his chest. Sir John Cranston, the Coroner of
the City of London, comes to survey the scene and is perplexed to find the
windowless strongroom was locked and barred from the inside at the time of
the murder. When other clerks are found murdered, each with a riddle pinned
to his corpse, Cranston enlists the help of his secretarius Brother
Athelstan, and together they must pit their wits against a deadly adversary
bent on murder and mayhem.
Deborah
