Welcome to my Web site. My series of Medieval Noir novels debuts with "VEIL OF LIES" , to be released by St. Martin's Minotaur, November 2008.  

In London of 1384, Crispin Guest is a man adrift in a rigidly defined society. Left with only his life, he’s a disgraced knight, convicted of treason, stripped of his rank and his honor for plotting against Richard II. Having lost his patron and his friends, with no trade to support him, Crispin has turned to the one thing he still has--his wits--to scrape a living on the mean streets of London.

 

Crispin is called to the compound of a reclusive merchant who suspects his wife of infidelity and wants Crispin to look into the matter. In dire need of money, he discovers that the wife is indeed up to something, but when Crispin comes to inform his client, he is found dead--murdered in a sealed room, locked from the inside. Now Crispin finds himself in the middle of a complex plot involving dark secrets, international plots, and a missing religious relic--one that lies at the heart of this impossible crime. 

 

 

If you want to get to know Crispin better, he now has his own journal at CrispinGuest.com. And, of course, there's my own blog of interviews and articles on history and mystery at Getting Medieval. 

VEIL OF LIES is in bookstores!
