About This Book
YE OLDE HOMICIDE
Chivalry is not dead; it comes back each year with a rousing "War" held for fun—and in costume. For one brief shining weekend, ordinary folks like police detective Peter Brichter recreate the Middle Ages at a rural campground: jousting, swigging ale, and "slaying" rival knights with glee. But a real-life killer has joined the throng—and with dagger sharp and malice cruel he's come to turn fantasy into deadly serious business.
