An historical mystery story set in the twelfth century and told by Peter Caen, a scribe, who wanders into homicidal events when delivering a message for his master to the castle in Normandy occupied by King Richard [Coeur de Lion]. The king is faced with a series of bizarre murders committed by an ingenious resident of his castle who is also extremely lucky. King Richard is forced to turn detective in order to find the culprit.
