1086, William the Conqueror sends out his agents to correct possible errors in the original Domesday census. Ralph Delchard and his lawyer partner/friend arrive at the Welch/English border to solve the mystery of a parcel of land disputed by three claimants. By the time they arrive, one of the three has been brutally murdered, and the other two are immediate suspects. Nice handling of plot, character development and setting. I prefer this Domesday series to Marston's Elizabethan mysteries.
