Death of the Wakeman: Murder and mystery in medieval England (The Draychester Chronicles Book 4 - middle ages crime) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798301744051)

Autumn mists cloak the northern town of Ditton in late 14th century England, where local legend speaks of a beast that haunts the lonely countryside paths after dark...

The town's Wakeman and a local woman are found dead, their bodies savagely torn in a backstreet slaughter. The frightened townsfolk of Ditton are quick to blame the Shuck-a monstrous black hound of legend with eyes that glow like hellfire.

Bishop Gifford's trusted officials, Bernard, Will, and Osbert, are dispatched north to investigate the brutal killings. In a town where fact and folklore intertwine and everyone has something to hide, they must untangle truth from superstition. Are these deaths truly the work of a legendary beast made flesh, or is someone using an ancient tale to conceal murder?
