Immortal Murder (Hugh Corbett Mysteries, Book 25)

The twenty-fifth enthralling Hugh Corbett medieval mystery from Paul Doherty, perfect for fans of C. J. Sansom, E. M. Powell and Bernard Cornwell.

January 1313. London is gripped by a freezing winter as Sir Hugh Corbett becomes embroiled in a ghoulish game between the royal courts of England and France.

Many years earlier, Corbett prevented a gang of rifflers from breaking into the Royal Treasury, but their leader, Sarasin, escaped. Now Sarasin is caught red-handed, murdering a squire of Queen Isabella’s, and Corbett is swift to have the riffler hanged from the signpost of the Twilight tavern.

Events take a sinister turn when, one by one, those who helped bring Sarasin to trial are gruesomely murdered. A mysterious individual calling himself the Immortal swears vengeance, and, with danger stalking their every step, Corbett, Ranulf and Megotta must piece together a complex puzzle to prevent more bloodshed.
