Murder at Broadstowe Manor (A Stephen Attebrook Mystery Book 8)

The adherents of Simon de Montfort from Herefordshire gather at Hereford Castle to select the countyâ€™s delegates to a Parliament Montfort has summoned in order to solidify his control of the kingdom. But the celebrations are interrupted when one of those put forward as a delegate, Sir Rogier FitzHerbert, is found hanged in his locked bedchamber alongside the body of a young man.The new coroner for the county rules the deaths a murder-suicide.But there are those who doubt that FitzHerbert could have murdered the young man and then hanged himself. And one of those faithful to the dead lord engages Stephen Attebrook to prove this was no suicide, but the cold-blooded murder of both.What looks like a routine murder inquiry, however, draws Stephen and his friends Gilbert Wistwode and Harry the carver into the game of shadows, for Montfort had sent the dead lord on a mission to the Welsh, bearing a letter with Montfortâ€™s proposals for a secret alliance. Men would kill to get that letter, which went missing upon FitzHerbertâ€™s death. Stephen finds himself in pursuit of that letter, for it seems to hold the key to the mystery.Stephenâ€™s troubles pile up by leaps and bounds for he must dodge deputies sent after him by Sheriff Percival FitzAllan, who accuses Stephen of murder himself, and he delves deeply into Herefordâ€™s underworld where death lurks in every alley and byway in his search for the truth. Murder at Broadstowe Manor is Stephen Attebrookâ€™s most desperate adventure yet, for his life and fortune are at stake with his every step.
