A knight in 14th century Devon, Sir William Beauscyr is used to having total control of his estates and servants. When one of his serfs goes to join a band of tin miners, he is furious. And when the serf is found dead, Sir William is a chief suspect.

Mercenaries are common in 14th-century Devon, but these ones are particularly troublesome, showing no respect for anyone and seducing the local girls. Then a young girl is discovered murdered and hidden in a chest - the first of the Crediton killings. Can the killer's identity be discovered?

After the brutal murder of goldsmith, Godfrey of London, former Knight Templar Sir Baldwin Furnshill and Simon Puttock are called on to solve the case. It takes them to the local leper home where they finally discover the truth.

Sir Baldwin Furnshill is preparing for his wedding when he receives news that one of his guests, Roger, Squire of Throwleigh has died. Shortly afterwards, the Squire's young son and heir is fatally hit by a horse and cart. When Baldwin and his friend Simon begin the investigate they are led to a sinister and shocking murderer.
