About this listen

The disgraced knight turned inquiry agent searches for a missing relic in this Macavity Award-finalist mystery set in fourteenth century London.

Former knight Crispin Guest is now known in the streets of medieval London as the Tracker—an investigator who can find anything and anyone. What begins as a straightforward case of murder turns complicated when Crispin realizes that the victim was an important courier in possession of a holy artifact—an object so valuable that its absence could start a war between France and England.

Surrounded by possible suspects, Guest will have to use his wiles to navigate both the exclusive halls of King Richard's court and the hardscrabble streets of fourteenth-century London. In a world full of old friends, mysterious strangers, and dangerous enemies—including the treasonous mastermind who caused Crispin's fall from grace—Crispin will have to uncover a deadly conspiracy to protect his country, save himself, and perhaps even restore his good name.

Really good story! with John of Gaunt and Richard behaving exactly the way I would have expected. Don't want to give away any spoilers but think I agree with Jack!
narrator growing on me but Noah check your English pronunciation again before flooding us with elongated vowel sounds please.

Excellent

Another great addition to the Crispin Guest series and excellently narrated once again. Probably the strongest one of the five audiobooks released so far. Definitely one up from most historical fiction audiobooks.

Marvellous
