ORDEAL BY FIRE: A BRADCOTE AND CATCHPOLL MYSTERY BY SARAH HAWKSWOOD PUBLISHED BY ALLISON AND BUSBY

September 1143. Sergeant Catchpoll hopes a fire at a Worcester silversmith’s is just an accident, but when there is a second fire, and a charred corpse is discovered, he has no choice but to call in the undersheriff, Hugh Bradecote, to help find the culprit. With further fires around the city that seem linked, a hooded figure stalking the streets, and a possible murder that has gone undiscovered for several months, the duo have to work together to uncover the arsonist and avoid getting more than their fingers burnt in this puzzling investigation.

October 1143. A mysterious archer melts back into the forest leaving a pile of corpses in his wake. The lord Sheriff of Worcester can’t ignore such a brazen attack. Hugh Bradecote and Serjeant Catchpoll are dispatched to hunt an elusive killer and his gang to put a stop to the mounting attacks. But it is not easy to get the culprits in their sights with a reeve keen to keep his position at all costs, a lord with his own ends to serve and a distrusting and vengeful widow to whom Bradecote is increasingly attracted.

Against a backdrop of a hard winter and even a frozen River Severn, Bradecote and Catchpoll are struggling to rescue the clerics, and Christina, before a psychopath does his worst, the lord sheriff loses patience, and Bradecote cracks under the pressure.

August 1144. Osbern de Lench is known far and wide as a hard master, whose temper is perpetually frayed. After his daily ride to survey his land, his horse returns to the hall riderless, and the lifeless body of the lord is found soon after. Was it the work of thieves, or something closer to home? With an heir who is cast in the same hot-tempered mould, sworn enemies for neighbours and something amiss in the relationship between Osbern and his wife, undersheriff Hugh Bradecote, the wily Serjeant Catchpoll and apprentice Walkelin have suspects aplenty.
