This is a light reading mystery where Hugh de Singleton hopes to solve the murder of a chapman (traveling peddler) who has believed to have found a buried treasure left by fleeing Romans during the Saxon invasion. There are many missteps in this adventure as Hugh tries to solve the murder and help a man who may be hung because he allowed a kidnapped woman escape. Hugh gets little for his efforts except an arrow in the back and almost loses his post. How it all turns out is for the next reader to discover.
