Hi all,
I've just submitted for proofing 'The Devil's Hunt: A Medieval Mystery
Featuring Hugh Corbett #10" by Paul Doherty.
It's been read and spell-checked. All headers stripped, chapter titles/page
numbers present/protected, fonts adjusted. 241 pages.
Description:
In the golden summer of 1303, murder makes its presence felt in the King's
university city of Oxford. The severed heads of beggars are found tied by
their hair to the trees in the woods outside Oxford. In the city itself all
is not well at one of the colleges, Sparrow Hall; its Regent, John Copsale,
has been found dead in his bed. Some claim he died in his sleep, others
whisper that he was murdered by the mysterious "Bell Man. " Then the college
librarian and archivist, Robert Ascham, is discovered in the college
library, a crossbow in his chest. Definitely murder, but who was
responsible? After all, the library was sealed, its windows and doors
shuttered, and what was Ascham trying to write on a piece of manuscript
found lying beside him? Are the Regent's death and Ascham's murder the
result of a terrible curse of ghosts who still walk seeking vengeance? And
who is the Bell Man - that mysterious, anonymous writer who posts treasonous
bills and letters on church doors all over the city?
Deborah
