Hi all,

 

I've just submitted for proofing "Murder Wears A Cowl: A Medieval Mystery
Featuring Hugh Corbett (#6)" by Paul Doherty.

 

It's been read and spell-checked. All headers stripped, page numbers/chapter
titles present/protected, fonts adjusted. 249 pages.

 

Description:

In early 1302 a violent serial killer lurks in the city of London, slitting
the throats of prostitutes. And when Lady Somerville, one of the Sisters of
St Martha, is murdered in the same barbaric fashion, her death is closely
followed by that of Father Benedict in suspicious circumstances.  Edward of
England turns to his trusted master clerk, Hugh Corbett, to reveal the
identity of the bloodthirsty assassin.  Joining Corbett on his mission are
his devious manservant Ranulf and his faithful horseman Maltote.  In the
dark, fetid streets of the city and in the desolate abbey grounds, they
encounter danger and deceit at every turn.  Only Ragwort, the mad beggar,
has seen the killer strike, and the one clue that Corbett has to help him is
Lady Somerville's cryptic message: 'Cacullus non facit monachum ' - the cowl
does not make the monk.
