Day of the Serpent

About the author

Cassandra Clark is an award-winning scriptwriter for theatre, radio and television, and the author of nine previous novels in the Hildegard of Meaux medieval mystery series. Running wild near the ruins of the Abbey of Meaux in the East Riding as a child became her inspiration for the series while the discovery in a dusty archive of the Chronicle of Meaux written in 1395 is the secret source for her research.

Summary

January, 1400. The bowman strikes at night, slaying one of King Henry's loyal garrison men before vanishing into the dark. Was the murder personal? Or is it the start of an uprising against England's self-crowned king? Friar and reluctant spy Brother Chandler is ordered to investigate, before the spark of rebellion can set the country alight.
