In 1424, Sir Law Kintour arrives in Perth, Scotland, injured from the wars in France. While looking for his next patron he is employed by a Sir Blinsele to look for his wife and lover. He agrees but rightly becomes suspicious when people start getting murdered and he becomes the man the sheriff wishes to hang for the murders. To save himself he must untangle the mystery and find the guilty party.
An enjoyable tale, and look forward to the next in the series. (

An enjoyable historical story, and re-read.

i chose this one to read next because it was only like 150 pages and i figured that i'd breeze through it and skip onto whatever i wanted to read next but... that's not how it worked out. this one just isn't for me and i realized that when it took me four days to get through those 150 pages.
