Book by Jecks Michael

Críticas:

Jecks is one of the most reliable practitioners of historical crime writing, and all his idiosyncratic virtues are on show here. On their return home from their pilgrimage, Baldwin and Simon's ship is attacked off the coast of the Scilly Isles, and Baldwin is swept overboard. Washed ashore on the tiny island of Ennor, Simon has to put aside his grief when the master of the castle, Ranulph, orders him to investigate the murder of the island's tax gatherer. Meanwhile Baldwin has been washed ashore and is nursed back to health by the beautiful Tedia. He uncovers a different picture of the island as he too begins to investigate the murder. Jecks gave up a career in computers to concentrate on writing and the study of medieval history; readers have cause to be grateful for the career move.
