1195. Prince John still plots to seize the throne from his brother, Richard the Lionheart--and in his wicked schemes, he is supported by Philip of France. The French king offers to help John financially by sending him a mysterious alchemist, a Mohammedan named Nizam, who claims to be able to turn base materials into gold. But the ship that was transporting Nizam and his retainers is found wrecked off the south Devon coast, its crew savagely slaughtered. Shortly afterward, a Norman knight named Peter le Calve is foully murdered, his severed head stuck on the rood screen of Exeter cathedral. It's up to Sir John de Wolfe, the county coroner, to find a motive and connection between the killings. And just what is his unscrupulous brother-in-law, the disgraced ex-sheriff and Prince John-sympathizer, Richard de Revelle, trying to hide?

Chippindale Crowner John or to give him his correct title is one of my all time favourite characters in medieval mysteries and if you read or are going to read this or any other of Bernard Knight's Crowner John Mysteries, you will probably understand why.. Dour and more than a little fierce looking but totally honest and incorruptible and a staunch follower of King Richard the Lionheart. He is the total opposite of his brother-in-law the Sheriff of Exeter, apart from the fact that the both have an eye for the ladies.Prince John is continuing to plot the seize the throne of England away from his brother Richard and he has a staunch and influential ally in Philip the King of France. Philip offers to help solve Prince john's financial problems by sending him an alchemist who claims to be able to transform base metals into gold. But both the ship the alchemist was on and all of the crew are found ship wrecked and murdered off the Devon coast.Later a knight living close to Exeter is found murdered under mysterious circumstances. It's up to the Crowner to piece the puzzle together are two deeds connected and what is his brother the Sheriff and a staunch supporter of Prince John attempting to hide?I don't think that Bernard Knight has written a bad book, certainly not in the Crowner John series and this one certainly lives up to expectations. I loved reading it.

Knight Writes an Elixer That Makes Reading Enjoyable By A_Bookaholic I only hope that this author and friend continues to put out a book from time to time for those of us who enjoy good literature and good mystery with a good taste of history (and not revisionist history, but as the old U.S. TV show said, "But, You are There."
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Crowner John strikes again By Gini Bernard Knight is one of the most literate of the medieval mystery writers around. The stories are always intriguing & Crowner John in a fascinating character. One sometimes wishes that de Revelle would b e done away with permanently because he's such a slimy character and Matilda is a most unsympathetic woman, but given that she is also de Revelle's sister, that is understandable. The mysteries are always involved & none so straight forward as to say " aha! So and so did this crime." Knight also has a way of relating the 12th century that makes one realize the actuality of life in the middle ages.
