Mystery Historical
Expertly recreating the social and political upheavals of
late medieval Europe and the increasing power of the wealthy
merchant class, acclaimed author Candace Robb introduces a
new series starring Kate Clifford, a woman forged on the
warring northern marches of fourteenth century England. Political unrest permeates York at the cusp of the fifteenth
century, as warring factions take sides on who should be the
rightful king--Richard II or his estranged, powerful cousin
in exile, Henry Bolingbroke. Independent minded
twenty-year-old Kate Clifford is struggling to dig out from
beneath the debt left by her late husband. Determined to
find a way to be secure in her own wealth and establish her
independence in a male dominated society, Kate turns one of
her properties near the minster into a guest house and sets
up a business. In a dance of power, she also quietly rents
the discreet bedchambers to the wealthy, powerful merchants
of York for nights with their mistresses. But the brutal murder of a mysterious guest and the
disappearance of his companion for the evening threatens all
that Kate has built. Before others in town hear word of a
looming scandal, she must call upon all of her hard-won
survival skills to save herself from ruin.
