Who stole the king's coronation gift? Owen encounters murder, secrets and spies as he attempts to recover a missing gold lion.

'A standout . . . Robb reinforces her place among the top writers of medieval historicals' - Publishers Weekly Starred Review

York, 1377. A costly lion created by the goldsmiths of York as a gift for King Richard's coronation is stolen. The desperate guildmaster begs Owen Archer to find it.

A CITY'S ROAR

But Owen has other troubles plaguing him. The French and Spanish navies are attacking English ports and boarding merchant ships. As the king's man in the north, Owen is hunting spies, and in a city on edge every foreigner is suspect. Especially when a body is found in the river . . .

A DANGEROUS PREDATOR

Is there a connection between the theft of the golden lion, the drowning, and the subsequent torture and murder of a foreigner? Owen's urgent search will uncover passions, betrayals and painful secrets that soon lead him to one of the most powerful men in the kingdom.

A page-turning, intricately plotted medieval mystery from a master storyteller, perfect for fans of PAUL DOHERTY, ELLIS PETERS and C.J. SANSOM.
