In the heart of Devonshire, Coroner John de Wolfe faces an intricate case: the murder of a tin miner. The victim worked for Walter Knapman, the region's most influential mine owner, suggesting possible business sabotage. However, the tin miners have their own laws and do not welcome John's interference. The situation is further complicated by the disappearance of Walter Knapman, a decapitated body, and a crazed Saxon intent on destroying everything Norman.
Amidst this chaos, John's personal life also crumbles: his wife detests him, his lover has abandoned him, and his secretary struggles with depression. Only Gwyn, his faithful assistant, seems helpful, until he is arrested for murder and faces a trial that could cost him his life. Can John solve this labyrinth of mysteries and save his friend before it's too late?
Bernard Henry Knight is a Welsh forensic pathologist and writer. He became a Home Office pathologist in 1965 and was appointed Professor of Forensic Pathology, University of Wales College of Medicine, in 1980.
