Unhallowed ground

Surgeon and bailiff Hugh de Singleton (The Unquiet Bones; A Corpse in St. Andrews; A Trail of Ink) searches for a killer when the most disliked man in the village is found hanging from a tree. Most believe that Thomas atte Bridge died by his own hand, but Hugh and his pregnant wife, Kate, are not so sure. Still, finding the murderer of a man almost everyone wanted dead will be no small task. Peril appears at every turn as the two search for clues that lead them to Exeter and back again. VERDICT Fans of medieval mysteries will revel in Starr's fourth lively blending of intriguing suspense and telling historical detail. (c) Copyright 2012.
