Falconer And The Face Of God Book

If you'd like to sample Ian Morson's excellent historical series about William Falconer, a 13th-century professor and astute crime solver, try this beautifully detailed story. Someone is trying to kill off the head actor, the supremely nasty Stefano de Askeles, in a traveling morality play that arrives in Oxford just as Falconer is doing some down-and-dirty research for his mentor, Roger Bacon. De Askeles survives a fatal blow, but his unlucky stand-in doesn't, which makes Falconer the actor's reluctant protector. As always, Morson captures the feel of the period, and avoids adding modern touches that would jar readers out of their hard-earned propinquity. Read More

  • Product Description

    Actor Stephano de Askeles's unfortunate stand-in gives his final performance when, during a rehearsal, he receives a fatal blow that was intended for de Askeles, a man hated by his entire troupe. Witness to this dire act is Oxford regent master William Falconer, who is helping his mentor, Roger Bacon, with some research into the mysterious science of alchemy. With motives aplenty and nary a moral involved in this morality play, Falconer investigates the secrecy surrounding the relics of a long-dead saint and a chilling tale of murder. Martin's Press.
