Michael Jecks Bücher

Im England des späten Mittelalters wurden Leibeigene, die vor ihren Herren wegliefen, noch aufs Brutalste bestraft. Doch als Peter Bruther aus dem Haus von Sir William Beauscyr flieht, begibt er sich unter den Schutz des Königs selbst, indem er in einer Zinnmine im Moor anheuert. Und der Bailiff von Lydford, Simon Puttock, muss den erzürnten Sir William davon überzeugen, dass er keinerlei Rechte mehr über seinen geflohenen Diener hat. Wenig später wird Peter Bruther aufgeknüpft von einem Baum hängend im Moor gefunden. Es handelt sich, allen Anzeichen nach, um heimtückischen Mord. Simon muss nun mit Hilfe seines Assistenten, des ehemaligen Tempelritters Sir Baldwin, den Mord aufklären. Verdächtige gibt es genug.
