Description
Read The Ely Testament, a Victorian mystery, by Philip Gooden for just 99p/c.
Geoffrey Chaucer Mysteries - Book Three
'A central character and a story that will leave readers clamouring for more.' Booklist
1373.
Geoffrey Chaucer, diplomat, king's agent and aspiring poet, is despatched to the Devon port of Dartmouth.
A ship from the Italian city of Genoa has been deliberately wrecked and its cargo stolen. A treaty between England and Genoa is at risk.
Chaucer must find the perpetrators.
Chaucer and his travelling companions are lodged with a wealthy doctor of physic, Richard Storey, and his new, young wife, Sara.
The fine house, overlooking the river Dart, is full of intrigue and suspicion between its members and visitors, who include a much-married woman, a softly spoken herbalist and the madam of a local brothel.
When a murder occurs, Chaucer's mission grows more perilous still. And there are rumours that the shipwrecked boat contained no ordinary cargo but an object that is worth a king's ransom. Worth killing for.
Recommended for fans of CJ Sansom, Steven Saylor and Andrew Taylor.
Philip Gooden is a historical novelist and contributor to various short story anthologies. He lives in Bath.
