      About This Book

      A priceless ornate cross, a massacre of heretics, and a royal spy entangled in a web of medieval intrigue.

      In Nightshade, an unscrupulous manor lord has reneged on his promise to hand over a priceless ornate cross stolen from the Templars during the Crusades. To make matters worse, he has massacred fourteen members of a religious order as heretics. King Edward I sends his devoted emissary, Hugh Corbett, to Mistleham to investigate the mysteries and mete out justice.

      Steeped in atmospheric details of medieval England, this gripping historical mystery from P. C. Doherty masterfully weaves elements of religion, crime, and court intrigue. Hugh Corbett must navigate a treacherous landscape of secrets and deception to uncover the truth behind the stolen Templar cross and the shocking massacre.

      "Another fine historical mystery steeped in medieval atmosphere." - Kirkus Reviews
