The Angel Of Death (LIN) (Linford Mystery Library)

In 1299, Edward I convoked a great assembly of the realm in St Paul's Cathedral. They were to hear Mass, after which the main celebrant, Walter de Montfort, had been delegated to lecture the King on not taxing the Church. During the Mass, de Montfort died a sudden and violent death. Hugh Corbett, the King's clerk, was given the task of solving the mystery and tracking down the murderer. His investigations became tortuous and laced with danger before he discovered the truth.
