Rebellious factions  determined to unseat King Henry VI from the throne  have been staging uprisings throughout England. London has been under siege for three days and the populace is ready to repel the invading rebels and reclaim the city.  In the midst of this unrest  Dame Frevisse of St. Frideswides nunnery has come to her cousins side. Lady Alice  widowed duchess of Suffolk  needs Frevisses support in burying her husband  as the late but not lamented duke was so hated that even being in the presence of his corpse is unsafe. And when men in Suffolks employ start disappearing  Frevisse fears for her cousins safety.  Wandering player Simon Joliffe has also come to London  filling the role of courier for the exiled duke of York and bringing vital information - a list bearing the names of the English noblemen who purportedly betrayed their King by conspiring with the French. Included on this list are several of Suffolks men  whom Joliffe has been seeking and finding dead at every turn...  If charges of treason are brought against Suffolk  Lady Alice fears her son will be disinherited. Joining Joliffe on his search for men on the list  Frevisse starts to wonder whether or not the list is real or part of an even greater conspiracy against the crown...  \"Painted on a much broader canvas... Ms. Frazer portrays the curse of living in interesting times  making it all seem fresh and vibrant as a news bulletin. Possibly the best in the series to date  and that is saying a lot.

She has a marvelous way of weaving historical details  facts  politics  and the ins and outs of everyday medieval life into the fabric of her novels.
