A witch is strangled by a hanged man. A mad dowser tracks demons and monsters. A miller's ghost haunts his mill while a mysterious leper lurks nearby. A drowned fisherman speaks through the cry of seagulls. A scarecrow stalks its killer. Five virgins are sold into white slavery while their rescuers risk excommunication. A crazy chase careens through pigpens, rooftops, and bedrooms. A thundering tournament charge leaves many knights dead and one murdered. A kidnapped girl vanishes into the forest. A comedy of errors pits bandits against outlaws in a clash over a spurious treasure... From Sherwood Forest to London's fetid streets, from misty moors to courts and cathedrals, Robin Hood and Marian use logic and superstition, muscle and pluck, and fire and steel to track the darkest killers of the Dark Ages.

The Robin & Marian Mysteries |
|
"Few authors could do justice to the legend
of Robin Hood, but Robin and Marian are in good hands with Clayton
Emery. Emery blends the best of the classic mystery with all
the heroism and romance one would expect in Sherwood Forest.
What a pleasure it is to return to Merry Old England in Emery's
stories!"
Rick Riordan
Edgar® Award Winner for the Tres
Navarre series
"Robin and Marian are ideal sleuths
and Emery gives them a whole new lease on life."
Mike
Ashley
Editor of THE MAMMOTH BOOK OF HISTORICAL WHODUNNITS and
other MAMMOTHs
"Clayton Emery's lively Robin and
Marian tales of historical crime, misdeeds and gallivanting are
like a breath of fresh air, and bring a much-needed sense of
enjoyment to the erstwhile legends of Sherwood Forest. Forget
the green tights and Errol Flynn moustaches and savor the romantic
reality that should have been."
