The Tournament of Blood

Más información sobre el libro

Lord Hugh de Courtenay's plan to host a tournament at his castle at Oakhampton gives the money-lenders an opportunity they cannot miss. A defeated knight unable to pay the ransom to his captor must borrow, no matter how much he might hate the usurers who provide the service. But for Benjamin Dudenay - to whom most of the knights in Devon are already indebted - the tournament will yield no such riches. A month before the festivities begin, Benjamin is found beaten to death. When Wymond, a carpenter commissioned to build the stands, is found dead, his injuries bearing the same hallmarks as Benjamin's, Sir Baldwin and Bailiff Simon Puttock must uncover the truth.
