Seller's Description:
Fine in Fine jacket. Book 1st ed. Fine in dust jacket, not price clipped, in protective mylar cover. Second book in the series. A Medieval Oxford mystery. Set in thirteenth-century Oxford; it is 1264 and Pope Alexander lies dying. Our protagonist, Regent Master Falconer, serves as a monk, a lecturer and teacher, an Aristotelian philosopher, and amateur sleuth. Sadly, as the Pope lies dying, the cardinals begin to position themselves for power in attempt to become the next pope. Meanwhile, back in England, a sinister murderer develops a dark and deadly scheme. The power struggle within the church hierarchy turns lethal in Oxford, when Cardinal Otho's (the Papal Legate) brother is killed by an assassin's arrow; the blame quickly falls upon a group of rioting students. Now Falconer must solve the mystery and find the murderer in order to save their lives, while sinister forces work against him.
