The Sword of Shame (A Historical Mystery)
The Medieval Murderers
The Latin inscription
carved on the gleaming blade read “He who lives in falsehood slays his
soul; he who lies, his honor.” If only they had known how true those
words would prove to be. The Sword of Shame was lovingly crafted by a
Saxon swordsmith shortly before the Norman invasion, and its constant
companions are treachery and deceit. From the Norman Conquest of 1066,
to an election-rigging scandal in 13th-century Venice, to the bloody
battlefield of Poitiers in 1356—at the heart of every treasonous plot,
every murder and betrayal, is the malign influence of the cursed sword.
And as it passes from owner to owner, ill-fortune and disgrace befall
all who wield the deadly blade.
The Medieval Murders are:
Bernard Knight, Ian Morson, Michael Jecks, Karen Maitland, Susanna Gregory, Philip Gooden and CJ Sansom
