Hi all,

 

I've just submitted for proofing "The Prince Of Darkness: A Medieval Mystery
Featuring Hugh Corbett (#5)" by Paul Doherty.

 

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

247 pages.

 

Description:

It is 1301 and a fragile peace exists between Edward of England and Philip
IV of France.  In the fetid alleys and slums of London and Paris it is a
different matter.  Here the secret agents of both countries still fight
their own, silent, deadly battles.  The Prince of Wales wallows in luxury
under the sinister influence of his favourite, Gaveston, who has secret
political ambitions to dominate the young prince and the English crown.
These scandals are threatened with exposure when Lady Belmont, the prince's
former mistress, is found dead, her neck broken, at the foot of a nunnery's
steps.  Was it suicide? An accident? Or malicious murder? Edward turns to
his master spy, Hugh Corbett, to solve the mystery.  In doing so, Corbett
must face the deadly rivalry of his French counterpart, the murderous rage
of Gaveston and the silent threats of assassins.  He must also contend with
the lies and silken deceits of his own master.

 

Deborah
