Romance, adventure, murder and intrigue in the latest Chevalier Galeran medieval mystery.
France, 1145. The Normandy coast is bracing itself against the approaching autumn Equinox and terrible storms are brewing. A whale has made its way into the River Seine. The local Abbot orders its death.
Meanwhile, the Chevalier Galeran is summoned by the Bishop of Lisieux to investigate the unpopular Abbot Eustache of the Abbey of Jumieges. There have been rumours of corruption in the Church . . .
Galeran arrives in town, where the stench of burning whale flesh is still overpowering, to hear of another death: the horrific killing of a young bride on her wedding night. He soon discovers that the town is riddled with theft, corruption, black magic - and murder.
