Nigellus Cobmartin got more than he thought when he inherited the family home. A body is found hidden in the walls. They believe the body to be a servant who stole a relic and fled twenty years ago. Crispin Guest, known to all as the Tracker, is called in to investigate. He immediately notices the hands and feet were bound. This could not have been the missing servant. Crispin and his associate, Jack, must begin in the past and work their way into the present to solve this mystery.
The book has a steady pace, the characters are developed, and it is written in the third person point of view. This is 14th book in the Crispin Guest mystery series. There is a mention that readers should read the first book, Veil of Lies, so parts of the book make more sense. I read the first book before reading this book and agreed with the recommendation. If you like historical mysteries, you will enjoy this book.
