History is Dead

From the best-selling home of the Chronicles of Brother Hermitage comes a mystery for the modern day. The fact that most of the evidence is nearly 1,000 years old is pure coincidence.

When Brian Hermitage gets the call about a murder, he cannot believe it. Another one! Why does the world keep presenting him with these awful things?
His boss, Gwen Worthing, has a very good idea.

But this one is only a lab coat floating in the River Witham under the medieval High Bridge in Lincoln. It might not even be a body, just some student prank.

That would be too much to ask for.

Walt Weaver, the local carpet dealer with fingers in a lot of dishonest pies is first on the scene, which has got to be suspicious. But the trail leads to the University History department, the Norman conquest, the first English Civil War and the Bayeux Tapestry, of all things.

And the more that’s discovered, the more likely it is that this isn’t a murder at all.

Well, that’s alright then…
