The third in her award-winning series of mysteries set in 12th century France and England during the time of Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine, imprisoned Richard the Lionheart, and malicious King John.
Richard Lionheart, eldest and most favored son of Dowager Queen Eleanor, languishes in a German dungeon, held for ransom by the Holy Roman Emperor. In England, his brother John, desperate for the crown, plots with the King of France to make sure Richard never leaves prison alive. But the queen has already begun to meet the ransom demands . . . and then one of the payments vanishes in remote Wales. Queen Eleanor sends her trusted man, Justin de Quincy, and murder quickly follows!
