Return to the life of The Tracker, Crispin Guest, who finds a young woman in his room. The woman asks Guest to help her because there is a dead man in her room. She declares that she killed him. Guest know that this is highly unlikely because the man has an arrow in his chest. Next to his body is a chest which holds a crown of thorns. The man is French, a courier.

The arrow in the courier's chest is identical to one shot at Crispin and at the sister of the young woman. A chest by the courier has a crown of thorns inside, supposedly the one worn by Jesus. As Crispin investigates an attempt is made on the king's life. Crispin is certain that another attempt will be made at the king's banquet. He stops the attempt but is caught with the bow in his hand and accused of the attempt. What happens next is for the reader to discover. Good, quick read.
