In response an English flotilla of warships, with <em>God’s Bright Light</em> in its number, has dropped anchor in the Thames. When the sun rises on the flotilla’s first morning, the first mate and two of the crew of <em>God’s Bright Light</em> have disappeared without a trace. Sir John Cranston—the wine-loving Coroner of the City—and his clerk Brother Athelstan are summoned to resolve the mysteries on board the ill-omened warship. In particular, they must search out the truth behind the death of Sir Henry Ospring, who after visiting the ship’s captain was later viciously stabbed to death in a tavern chamber. As Cranston and Brother Athelstan investigate, they find themselves in the thick of a bloody battle as scandal, treason, and murder rule the day.</p><h3>About the Author</h3><p>Paul Doherty is the author of several mystery series, including the Ancient Egypt Trilogy, the Ancient Roman Mysteries series, and The Sorrowful Mysteries of Brother Athelstan series.</p></div> London : Headline, 1994. yKxkNAAACAAJ 9780747244615 0747244618 eng Historical Fiction
