About the Author:
Professor Bernard Knight, CBE, became a Home Office Pathologist in 1965 and was appointed Professor of Forensic Pathology, University of Wales College of Medicine, in 1980. During his 40-year career with the Home Office, he performed over 25,000 autopsies, and was involved in many high profile cases, including that of Fred and Rose West, and the child killer, Mary Bell. The author of numerous popular and academic non-fiction books, he has written thirteen novels in the Crowner John mystery series. Professor Knight lives in Cardiff.
From Booklist:
Knight, a retired British forensic pathologist, presents the first in a new medieval mystery series featuring Sir John de Wolfe. It's 1194, and Sir John has just been appointed coroner for the county of Devon. His first case unfolds when an unidentified, rotting corpse is discovered on a nearby riverbank, and no one knows who it is. The sheriff arrests a suspect, but Sir John is sure he's got the wrong man. When the corpse is identified as the son and heir of a rich country squire, the sheriff is determined to hang his suspect to curry favor with the squire. Can Sir John find the real killer in time to prevent a dire miscarriage of justice? Knight realistically depicts life in the twelfth century--physically demanding, harsh, violent, and raucous. His descriptions of injuries, corpses, and physical maladies are convincing and stomach-churning, but it's his gift for creating engaging and believable characters that makes the book such an enjoyable read.
