The Legend of Good Women

About the Book

Second in the acclaimed Geoffrey Chaucer mystery series, The Legend Of Good Women finds poet/astrologer Geoffrey Chaucer chasing two murderers. The first is responsible for the death of a Sussex steward, and also for the impoverishment of a noble widow and her beautiful ward. The second haunts the streets of Chaucer's own community, Aldgate Village, and has dared to attack Geoffrey's own friends. Complicating Chaucer's investigation is his old and dear friend, John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, who seems curiously concerned about the strange events in Sussex-which may or may not be connected with the Duke's ambitions to become King of Castile.

Overwhelmed and confused, but determined to learn the truth, Chaucer must cut through a web of greed, political intrigue, and misguided love before either murderer can be brought to justice-and a pair of devoted young lovers can be united once and for all.
