This Medieval mystery features Hugh Corbett - Edward I's Keeper of the Secret Seal - sent to discover an ancient manuscript alleged to give the whereabouts of a legendary treasure. Set in 1300 in and around Canterbury, except for the Prologue which introduces the manuscript on board a ship which is attacked and sunk. Easy to read, well written and suspenseful until the end with many twists and turns and a trail of dead bodies.
