This is a relatively short book and seemed to appear without any great publicity (unlike his more recent Priest Of Blood and Mordred). However, as good as all his books are, this, in my opinion, is Douglas Clegg writing at his best. The story of a wife whose husband is murdered is engrossing from the start. Mix into this the well-written journey of her gradual break down, the fact that her husband was not who she thought he was and, for that matter, neither was the murder, and you have an excellent story told by an excellent storyteller. The twists and turns will keep you guessing right until the end. I highly recommend this book, both to Douglas Clegg fans and those who have never read anything by this very talented author.
