Three powerful Norman lords and a dispossessed Saxon thegn watch their steeds race close to the forest of Woodstock. Not just money but fierce pride is at stake.

Until it emerges that the knight who rode the stallion is lying in a copse with a knife in his back.

But soon their attentions are focused on a different piece of land altogether - a stretch of grass outside Woodstock where a murderer's secrets are to be found. Book in very good condition.
