The Unquiet Grave

A missing bridegroom. Stolen coin. And a ghost haunting Savernake Forest...The date is 1206. Young forester Peter Brenthall is not given to hysteria but there is no doubt something has frightened him out of his wits. A disgusting corpse rises from the ground and speaks to him and he flees in terror. But Sir Aumary Belvoir, warden of Savernake Forest, doesn't believe in apparitions - until his good friend and the most rational of fellows, Dr. Johannes of Salerno experiences this ghost too. In order to calm the panic, Aumary must lay this ghost to rest. And what is the significance of the body in the Crammer, a pond at the nearby town of Devizes? What is going on at dead of night near this body of water?Aumary must have all his wits about him and in order to unmask a murderer, he must somehow lay hands on an other-worldly adversary. Have you ever wondered what might be the story behind some of our most beloved ancient folk songs? This tale, the eighth in the series, leads the reader into a world full of Mediaeval superstition and dread.
