No 1 Best-Seller, Howard of Warwick, goes again. It's more medieval mystery with more than a hint of humour. After solving all those murders, Brother Hermitage deserves a reward. And one arrives in the shape of a very high-quality parchment delivered by some very high-quality servants. Appointment to the Standing Conclave, which advises King William on mainly ecclesiastical matters, is a great honour. It is not to be sniffed at, let alone turned down. The fact that the appointment has come from Ranulph de Sauveloy, who is known to think Hermitage an idiot, is only a detail. Wat and Cwen the weavers think this detail is going to be trouble, and they had better accompany Hermitage to the first meeting in Nottingham. When they find that no one else understands why Hermitage has been appointed, suspicions grow. Has he been sent in his role as King's Investigator of murder? Is there dark work afoot in the fringes of the Conclave? Do some of the very important people there actually want to kill one another? Is this simply some devious plot of de Sauveloy to get Hermitage in the right place to foil some dastardly deed? Or to investigate it once it's been done? Or is he simply being put out of the way. Words overheard through a window and a horrible discovery in a chest set Hermitage's worries at full gallop. Rumours that King William is to attend, while his half-brother, Robert, is already there, and the other sibling, Odo, has sent his man, turn the possibility of a plot into a certainty. All Hermitage has to do is work out what it is and put a stop to it. Before someone gets hurt, probably fatally. He can't really ask William's fearsome companion Le Pedvin for help, can he? They've never got on in the past. And Mistress Aveline, Gilbert of Nottingham's daughter, she can make any situation into a nightmare. What seemed like an honour very rapidly turns into a curse. But Hermitage should be used to them by now. 5* 'I have read every single Chronicle - Very enjoyable and entertaining' "I like Hermitage" "You can confidently award 5 stars to anything by Howard of Warwick even before you read it, and this book is no exception. Whatever you're reading, you have to put it down when the latest Brother Hermitage book arrives."

Release Date: 2025-06-30
Previously published as The Heretics of De'Ath by Howard of Warwick, now in this glorious second edition. (All the old words and some new ones...). Medieval mystery for people who laugh starts here.... England's most famous date, 1066: At the monastery of De'Ath's Dingle, during a completely pointless theological debate, there is a mysterious death. Routine business for the average investigative medieval monk. Unfortunately, this isn’t a tale of average monks. Anyone who would put the idiot Brother Simon in charge of a murder investigation is either one chant short of a plainsong or is up to something. When Brother Hermitage, innocent in every way, including bystanding, is lined up for execution, he begins to wonder if something might be going on. Perhaps his new companion, Wat, weaver of pornographic tapestry, can figure out what it is. Before it's too late. If you are a lover of the historical detective genre, if you have a deep respect for the worlds created, don’t read this book. It’ll only upset you. People have passed comment: 5* Such a good writer, it's a whole new slant on medieval mystery. The truth is out there, sort of! Always makes me laugh, love these books, love this author. More please as soon as possible, just keep writing... 5* Like Cadfael meets Clouseau. 5* The usual mayhem, confusion, murder and laughs! 5* Always makes me laugh, love these books, love this author. 1* Stupid! Be warned, there are now 35 Chronicles of Brother Hermitage.
The Maltho-Rose Plot
The World Demographic Institute, or WDI, based in Washington, DC, is devoted to global conservationist issues, ranging from the balanced preservation of natural resources to population control. In opposition are many religious and conservative individuals and organizations, at least one of which is prepared to resort to violence and chicanery to press its issues and aims. As a result, the WDI has its open, or public, side as well as a clandestine force staffed by professional undercover agents from around the world. The secret side of the WDI swings into action when first one, then a second of its agents is detected and eliminated. Since the Institute does not know who or what they are fighting, they turn to an unlikely candidate to identify and track down their adversary. He is ex-Army Ranger Francis Xavier McNulty, who has become an activist priest. McNulty ferrets out a mole in the WDI headquarters, then moves to Europe where he is joined by other operatives to track down the assassin as well as accomplish a second mission of a political nature. One result is involvement with cardinals within the Curia. The assignment is nearly foiled when the WDI cell is uncovered and infiltrated by an element of the target opposing force.
