Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. I found this story of a murder more interesting for the details than the murder. Falconer is going slowly blind so this enabled his Knight Templar Shadow to follow him. When the chef of a political bishop is found dead, falconer has to work out who did it and why. A very powerful preacher is also involved but overall I didn't care much for the characters and I'm not really all that pushed about continuing the series, I will probably continue reading them but I have no urgency to hunt them up. no reviews | add a review
In Rome, Pope Alexander IV lies dying. From the East, an assassin is sent by a powerful royal family. In Wallingford Castle a young man is held prisoner, charged with a murder he did not commit... In the swirling mists of Oxford, Regent Master William Falconer, Aristotelian philosopher and amateur sleuth, searches for the whereabouts of his mentor, Roger Bacon. But a political intrigue is about to explode. The Papal Legate's brother-a master cook-is killed with an arrow during a student riot. While authorities crack down on the disorder and zealots warn of the Apocalypse, Falconer begins an investigation. Now the man of reason must enter a labyrinth or madness-where ambition, deceit, and murder are the order of the day. No library descriptions found. |
