by Mel Starr (Author)

A further episode in the Unquiet Bones series, following the life and fortunes of Hugh de Singleton,
surgeon in medieval Bampton, Oxfordshire.

Alan, the beadle of the manor of Bampton, had gone out at dusk to seek those who might violate curfew.
When, the following morning, he had not returned home, his young wife Matilda had sought out Master Hugh de Singleton, surgeon and bailiff of the manor.

Two days later Alan's corpse was discovered in the hedge, at the side of the track to St Andrew's Chapel. His throat had been torn out - his head was half severed from his body - and his face, hands and forearms were lacerated with deep scratches.

Master Hugh, meeting Hubert the coroner at the scene, listened carefully to the coroner's surmise that a wolf had caused the great wound. And yet, if so, why was there no blood?

'This skillfully woven story is a delight to read. The setting is exceptionally well crafted. Highly recommended.' Davis Bunn, best-selling author
