Nottingham, 1571.
Coroner Sir Henry Greville is conducting an inquest, following the discovery of the body of a girl, and he wants a quick and conclusive verdict. The victim is believed to have been promiscuous domestic servant Amy Brindley. The scant evidence implicates her former employer.
Constable Thomas Lincraft is not convinced, and begins his own search for the truth, even though he risks being dismissed from his office by doing so.
"An entertaining and lively mystery, which delves into the murky world of crime and the justice system in provincial Elizabethan England." Paul Walker, author of State of Treason
