When he arrives at Court he finds two argumentative groups of Saxon moneyers, one accusing the other of devaluing the King's currency. But is there more to it than greed? Geoffrey has no choice but to accept the King's commission to investigate whether this is part of a treasonous plot.

A Very Good Read

Sir Geoffrey is annoyed that his return journey to the Holy Land has been curtailed by a summons from King Henry to attend him at Westminster. Sir Geoffrey feels his allegiance lies with Prince Tancred in the Holy Land and not with an English King whose right to the throne is dubious, at least in Geoffrey's eyes. Sir Geoffrey is even more unhappy when he find that the King wishes him to to look into the problem of counterfeit coins being produced at one of the Mints in Bristol and devastated when a list of possible suspects in the operation contains the name of his sister Joan. The knight sets off with his squire to Bristol in the company of the accusers and the defendants in this crime against the crown. He hopes that he and his friend Sir Roger can solve the crime and exonerate his sister at the same time, but the journey is a slow one and definitely not a smooth one with threats and violence before they have even reached the outskirts of the city . . .
