DAY OF WRATH by IRIS COLLIER
|
SummaryNicholas Peverell has returned to his manor house in Sussex
after visiting King Henry VIII at court to find that his
loyal steward has been murdered---strangled and thrown from
the manor house tower. Nicholas immediately decides to
launch an investigation. He also has to deal with the unrest among the monks at his
priory---King Henry is trying to reform the church and the
plight of the monks is as yet unsure---could they somehow
be involved? Nicholas' problems are further exacerbated when beautiful
and talented local girl Jane Warrener tells him she has
overheard talk of a conspiracy against the king. It is her
notion that his steward's murder had something to do with
it. Perhaps he overheard the conspirators and they killed
him off before he could betray their plans. . . . If this is the case, and with King Henry's untimely
announcement of his intention to visit Peverell Manor on
his way to Portsmouth in just a few days, Nicholas has no
time to lose if he is to hunt down the murderous traitors
and save the life of his king.
