A fantastic fast paced medieval style murder mystery, filled with suspense, intrigue and adventure. Nestor is an interesting character that draws you in from the start, and you learn more about his life and circumstances throughout the book.

When a nobles daughter is found murdered, they offer the jailed and disgraced former inquisitor the opportunity to solve the case in 5 days to earn his freedom, knowing his skills alone may help uncover the culprit.
With a delightful Sherlock Holmes style investigation, Inquisitor Nestor Atius and his sidekick Advisor Kif must gather evidence, interrogate the suspects and use their wits to deduce what happened to the poor Lady Jillis.
With a lack of cooperation, interruptions from outside forces, predjudices to Nestor's foreign heritage, and a looming deadline, can the duo help solve the crime in time.

An exciting read if you enjoy fantasy, mystery and a classic 'who dunnit' murder.
