Hi all,
I've just submitted for proofing "Candle Flame: Being The Thirteenth Of The
Sorrowful Mysteries Of Brother Athelstan" by Paul Doherty.
It's been read and spell-checked. All headers stripped, page numbers/chapter
titles present/protected, fonts adjusted. 231 pages.
Description:
February, 1381. London lies frozen in the grip of one of the bitterest
winters on record. The ever-rising taxes demanded by the Regent, John of
Gaunt, are causing increasing resentment among the city's poor. When the
seething unrest boils over into a bloody massacre at a splendid Southwark
tavern, The Candle Flame, in which nine people, including Gaunt's tax
collectors, their military escort and the prostitutes entertaining them, are
brutally murdered, the furious Regent orders Brother Athelstan to get to the
bottom of the matter. For not only has Gaunt's treasure trove been stolen,
he has reason to believe a French spy is active along the Thames, carefully
recording for his masters in the Louvre the state of English war cogs. And
a professional assassin, Beowulf, who has sworn vengeance against Gaunt and
his minions, also stalks the shadows. Once again, Athelstan must enter the
murky world of murder, where the darkness constantly shifts and no one is
who or what they seem.
Deborah
