FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Its 1516 and Scotland and England are teetering on the brink of yet another war. So when a torso is found right on the border between the two countries, it threatens to create a bloodbath. French diplomat, Antoine de Lissieu, is dragged in to investigate and reluctantly takes a band of men to the wild frontier region. But hes shunned by both sides of the divide and plagued by traumatic memories from his past. As time runs out and the bodies mount up, can Antoine catch the culprits and prevent more carnage - or will his own demons catch up with him? If you like C.J. Sansom, S.J. Parris and D.V. Bishop, youll love this dark and twisty tale, set in a world of outlaws and warlords. Author Biography A.K. Nairn is the pen name of award-winning business writer and adman Andy Nairn. He was born and bred in the Scottish Borders, and grew up fascinated by the bloody history of this now-sleepy region. In particular, he was drawn to the tale of a real-life French diplomat, who was given the thankless job of keeping order on the frontier. The locals murdered this historical figure within a year but Andy felt he deserved more time in the sun (or at least in the icy wind and rain) so has resurrected and reinvented him for this series.
