- Synopsis
- A horrifying murder takes place. The murder of a king .... The crime remains shrouded in secrecy for years--until a wily royal clerk named Edmund Beche is ordered to investigate. Where he journeys, who he encounters, and what he discovers is a rich and thrilling tale of intrigue, ยป betrayal, and violent death .... It is a tale that takes you to Berkeley Castle in the year 1344, to the court of King Edward III, and into the desperate mind of Edmund Beche. Who conspired to kill King Edward II? Why did the dead king's son wait seventeen years to look into the case? Why does the dreadful Queen Isabella keep her late husband's bloody heart encased in glass? Why was Beche, of all people, chosen to uncover these ugly secrets? The answers come from deadly sources--from royal archives and ancient tombs, from the mouths of liars and the daggers of assassins. But for Edmund Beche, with his life dangling over a pit of treachery, the truth is the most shocking revelation of all.
