Hi all,

 

I've just submitted for proofing "The Devil's Domain: Being The Eighth Of
The Sorrowful Mysteries Of Brother Athelstan" by Paul Doherty.

 

It's been read and spell-checked; all headers stripped, page numbers/chapter
titles present, fonts adjusted.

248 pages.

 

Description:

In the summer of 1380 a French captain is murdered in Hawkmere Manor-a
lonely, gloomy dwelling place otherwise known as the Devil's Domain-which is
used by Regent John of Gaunt to house French prisoners captured during the
bloody battles waged on the Narrow Seas.  Sir John Cranston and Brother
Athelstan are summoned to investigate the mysterious death but their path is
riddled with obstacles.  How could the murderer have entered the Frenchman's
chamber when the room was locked from within? Their aide in the
investigation, Sir Maurice Maltravers, is more of a hindrance than a help
due to his suffering from the misery of heartbreak.  Lady Angelica, the
woman he intended to marry, has been whisked away to a convent by her
tyrannical and disapproving father.  It soon becomes apparent to Cranston
and Brother Athelstan that only when the lovers are reunited will any
progress be made in the murder investigation.
