A company of mercenaries is in residence in the Devonshire town of Crediton. Mercenaries are commonplace in the fourteenth century, but these ones are particularly troublesome, showing no respect for anyone and seducing the local girls. When a robbery takes place amongst the mercenaries, Simon Puttock, bailiff of Lydford, and Sir Baldwin Furnshill, Keeper of the King's Peace, are on hand to investigate. Then a young girl is discovered murdered, hidden in a chest - and this is only the first of the Crediton Killings.
As murder follows brutal murder, Simon and Baldwin must discover the killer's identity before he can murder again - and before their own lives, dangerously caught up in intrigue, are put at risk...
