Will the Archbishop of York's final days be spent in peace? As the race to be his successor gathers pace, Owen must catch a determined killer who dwells among the archbishop's guests at Bishopthorpe Palace.

York, 1373:
While the Archbishop of York, John Thorseby, lies gravely ill, the Princess of Wales visits him at Bishopthorpe Palace with an entourage from the royal household.

A GATHERING TO DIE FOR.

Princess Joan's presence in York gives the king's enemies an opportunity to strike, but it seems that danger lies closer to home when one of her servants is discovered dead. Was it an accident, or does a murderer lurk among the guests?

THE STAKES COULDN'T BE HIGHER . . .

As Owen investigates the other members of the princess's travelling party, a heinous act is discovered in the palace woods. Someone is determined to influence the choice of Thoresby's successor . . . Can Owen Archer catch the culprit and ensure that the archbishop's final days are spent in peace?
