It's 1355, and Oswald de Lacy, Lord Somershill, is in Venice awaiting transport to the Holy Land on a pilgrim ship. But Oswald can't escape involvement in a murder investigation when he stumbles upon a dead man during a Venetian carnival. This third series outing (after The Butcher Bird) offers further insights into Lord Somershill and the past that bedevils him, along with sophisticated plotting, intrigue, and immersion in a fascinating historical setting.—ACT
