Catrin and Rhys come up against outlaws, robbers, thieves and malefactors in the sixth Welsh Guard Mystery!
Having crossed the border into Wales once again, King Edward is on a mission. Outlaws have settled in the countryside around the Cistercian Abbey of Valle Crucis, and he is determined to root them out. Little does he know that they have plans for him, as well—not because they seek justice for the Welsh people, but because they seek it for themselves.
So when a young monk turns up dead during a ceremony to venerate the piece of the true cross—the last holy relic King Edward has appropriated from the Welsh—Rhys and Catrin are tasked not only with trying to solve the murder, but with keeping the cross safe from the outlaws.
And maybe from King Edward, too.
Outlaw is the sixth book in The Welsh Guard Mysteries.
Series so far: Crouchback, Chevalier, Paladin, Herald, Bardd, Outlaw
Genre: Historical Mystery
