Having lost his patron and his friends, with no trade to support him, Crispin has turned to the one thing he still has—his wits—to scrape a living on the mean streets of London. Guest is called to the compound of a reclusive merchant who suspects that his wife of infidelity and wants Guest to look into the matter. In dire need of money, Crispin discovers that the wife is indeed up to something but when Crispin comes to inform his client, he is found dead—murdered in a sealed room, locked from the inside. Now Guest finds himself in the middle of a complex plot involving the dark secrets, international plots, and a missing religious relic—one that lies at the heart of this impossible crime. 3441557 book 28 10 2008 Veil of Lies: A Medieval Noir total:58|5:5|4:21|3:18|2:9|1:5| 58 186 132 21 3 0 false false Sat Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Dec 03 17:22:00 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 03 17:23:08 -0800 2008 Westerson, Jeri – 1st in series
