Frustrated with our justice system? Ever feel like you're not being treated fairly or that you're being taken advantage of or even that your voice is being silenced?

Remarkably, these feelings had to be there and then some under medeival feudal law. How much anger and frustration could you bear in a circumstance where you were declared homeless and ultimately shut up by being declared outlaw in the very court system ruled over by those who stole your home. Would you be angry enough to commit murder in revenge? In this Crowner John mystery you'll be kept engaged, frustrated and curious to the end.

Somewhere in our own vernacular the word cheat had to derive from the concept known as escheat in the feudal system - no heirs = no property, even for the widow.
