Discover the gripping medieval mystery series featuring Hugh of Singleton. Hugh of Singleton, fourth son of a minor knight, has been educated as a clerk, usually a prelude to taking holy orders. However, feeling no certain calling despite a lively faith, he turns to the profession of surgeon, training in Paris and then hanging out his sign in Oxford. In 'The Unquiet Bones', Hugh is asked by a local lord to track down the killer of a young woman. She is identified as the impetuous missing daughter of a local blacksmith, and her young man, whom she had provoked very publicly, is in due course arrested and sentenced at the Oxford assizes. With graphic medical procedures, misdirection, and droll medieval wit, this tale will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.

Don't miss out on the chance to delve into this world of ambition, romantic distractions, and underlying Christian compassion. Don't miss out on this thrilling read and join the many others eagerly awaiting the next instalment!

The Tale of Raw Head and Bloody Bones
Author: Jack Wolf
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0143123823
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 561
Book Description
The explosive and controversial debut novel by a major new voice in fiction Meet Tristan Hart, a brilliant young man of means. The year is 1751, and at the age of twenty he leaves home to study medicine at the great hospital of St. Thomas in London. It will be a momentous year for the intellectually ambitious Mr. Hart, who, in addition to being a student of Locke and Descartes and a promising young physician, is also, alas, psychotic. He is obsessed with the nature of pain and medically preventing it, but—equally strong and much harder to control—is his obsession with causing it. Desperate to understand his deviant desires before they are his undoing, he uses the new tools of the age—reason and science and skepticism—to plumb the depths of his own dark mind. Profoundly imaginative, unexpectedly funny, and with a strange but moving love story at its heart, The Tale of Raw Head and Bloody Bones is an oddly beautiful and daring novel about the relationship between the mind and body, sex, madness, pain, and the existence of God.
