Review “An engaging cast and plenty of genuine suspense will keep historical mystery devotees firmly in Clare’s corner” Booklist starred review “Vividly evokes seventeeth-century Devon.

Features & Highlights
- Devon, 1607. Gabriel Taverner, former ship’s surgeon turned country physician, is called to examine a rotting body found impaled on a blade. Identifying the corpse seems a hopeless task and the death is declared a suicide.
- But Gabriel is not satisfied and re-examines the body―making the first of a series of shocking discoveries that will lead him deep into the dark underbelly of the lucrative silk trade. As he investigates, Gabriel realises that not only was the death a murder―but even worse, he had a personal connection with the corpse.
