A Roger the Chapman Medieval Mystery.
August, 1476: Roger the travelling chapman - whose sharp wit and tender heart have been involved in affairs touching the mightiest and the humblest in the land - ought to be on his way home to Bristol after a peaceful summer's peddling. But a request from the Duke of Clarence to escort a young bride travelling to meet her betrothed takes him instead towards Wells - and an extraordinary adventure. For the bridegroom has vanished, and his brother soon follows.
Roger links the disappearances to the discovery of an ancient manuscript written in a strange language. But as he gradually deciphers the manuscript's meaning, he concludes that a greater mystery still may lie at the heart of the brothers' disappearance . . .
