Chaucer Mysteries #1

A Death in Catte Street

Get it on Amazon, Smashwords, Barnes & Noble, or Apple's iBookstore for $1.99.

A young Geoffrey Chaucer notices three men in London who shouldn't be there. Two days later, one of them is found dead in the basement of a locked house. Curiosity and a sense of moral obligation prompt him to explore the incident. His fumbling investigations—while more basement deaths turn up—lead him to learn more about the history of England than he ever suspected.

This is the first novel by Tim Shaw in the projected series of Geoffrey Chaucer Mysteries. It is told in the first person, as a much older Chaucer looks back to his youth—far from the experienced and knowledgeable poet he was to become in later life. If you like your medieval history wrapped in fiction, this is for you.
