About this ebook
On hearing that his cousin is short-handed for the harvest, Nicholas Elyot takes a group of friends back to the family farm to help.
But after a deer hunt in Wychwood ends in tragedy, suspicion is directed toward the huntsman, a boyhood friend of Nicholas.
Yet the victim has made many other enemies, any one of whom could have shot the fatal arrow. Can Nicholas uncover the real killer before it is too late?
A totally scintillating medieval whodunnit full of twists and suspense, perfect for fans of Edward Marston, E. M. Powell and Sarah Hawkswood.
