Hostage To Fortune [LP 16 Pt Edition]

January 1144. Hugh Bradecote does not want his betrothed heading off on a pilgrimage to the shrine of St Edgyth at Polesworth but the Archbishop of Canterbury€„¢s envoy and his entourage of monks seem Heaven-sent as escorts right up until they are captured by a renegade who wants his forger out of the lord sheriff€„¢s cells; a renegade who loathes the Benedictines and kills for pleasure. Against a backdrop of a hard winter and even a frozen River Severn Bradecote and Catchpoll are struggling to rescue the clerics and Christina before a psychopath does his worst the lord sheriff loses patience and Bradecote cracks under the pressure.
