A brand-new Historical Mystery from the pen of bestselling author Denise Domning!
A MILLER FOUND UNDER HIS WHEEL
It’s 1194 and Sir Faucon de Ramis, the shire’s newly appointed Keeper of the Pleas, must do his duty and make an official declaration of the cause of a miller’s death.

As a simple task takes a turn to the political, what seems obvious isn’t
and what appears safe turns out to be more dangerous than he could imagine.
