Tudor Mystery

When King Edward II is informed that his wife, Queen Isabella, has defied him and remained in France with their son, he flies into a rage. It is Sir Baldwin de Furnshill and his friend Bailiff Simon Puttock who have broken the news to him and are now no longer in the king’s favour. They return to their homes in Devon, but they find that outlaws hold sway in the land. Sir Robert, a knight from the King’s household, has turned outlaw from his castle near Crediton. When a pair of clerics are found murdered, Baldwin and Simon are asked to investigate.

Cold-blooded murder has transformed Simon Puttock's official obligation into something horrid, and he will need the able assistance of his friend, Sir Baldwin Furnshill, to draw a criminal out. A former Knight Templar, Sir Baldwin knows much of duty and servitude and of evil freely indulged in the name of godliness or greed. Now, justice must be served, even if their search exposes extortion, foul corruption, rule by fear, and killers willing, even eager, to shed more blood.

Sono trascorsi trent'anni. Ed Munster adesso è un uomo, è rimasto a vivere nella stessa cittadina e insegna nella scuola locale. Abita nella bella casa che gli ha lasciato la madre e affitta una stanza a una studentessa vivace da cui è attratto, suo malgrado. Ed sembra essersi lasciato il passato alle spalle, quell'estate del 1986 in cui era un ragazzino e trascorreva giorni interi con i suoi amici.

Da Joe Thorne var dreng, forsvandt hans søster fra sin egen seng og var væk i 48 timer. Annie Thorne kom tilbage, men hun var som forandret og ville ikke fortælle, hvad der var sket.

Han havde helst været fri, ville helst overhovedet ikke have været tilbage. Men han er tvunget til det, for det der skete, dengang hans søster forsvandt, ser ud til at være ved at ske igen.

Gänsehaut pur - der neue Thriller von C.J. Tudor. "Eines Nachts verschwand Annie. Aus ihrem eigenen Bett. Das ganze Dorf hat sie gesucht, überall. Alle haben das Schlimmste befürchtet.

Ich kann mir nicht erklären, was es war. Ich weiß nur, dass sie, als sie wieder auftauchte, nicht mehr dieselbe war. Sie war nicht mehr meine Annie.
