The first in a series of gripping historical murder mysteries, set in fifteenth-century Estonia

At the dawn of the fifteenth century, Tallinn stands on the edge of Christendom. Merchants, monks, knights and pirates all struggle for control of the wealthy city. When the brutally decapitated corpse of a knight is discovered, apothecary Melchior Wakenstede, famed for his brilliant mind, is asked to investigate.
