Relics

A rich and evocative medieval murder mysery set in Essex in the aftermath of the Peasant's Revolt, for fans of Laura Shepherd-Robinson and Leonora Nattrass. When a curious map is discovered on the body of a dead man in Dedding church, manuscript illuminator Christina is summoned to provide her opinion on the strange artefact. But as it seems those with power have no intention of uncovering the truth behind the murder, Christina finds herself drawn into an investigation far darker and more complex than she could have envisioned.With the aftermath of the Peasants' Revolt and a previously unsolved murder hanging over the village, Christina quickly discovers that Dedding is a hotbed of lies, collusion and conspiracy and that the tendrils of power and corruption reach very deep indeed.
