The Guilt of Innocents

Candace Robb

Is an innocent act behind a tragedy? Owen Archer investigates when a drowning in the River Ouse leads him on a chilling trail involving a boy's stolen scrip and a valuable golden cross.

York, 1372. When river pilot Drogo stole young Hubert's scrip, Hubert's friends swore they would get it back. But their worthy endeavour is brought to an abrupt end when Drogo is viscously attacked and left to drown in the River Ouse.

DEADLY SECRETS RISE TO THE SURFACE . . .

Is Drogo's murder linked to the missing scrip? And where is Hubert? As the scrip is recovered and the river gives up a terrible secret, Owen becomes intrigued by a missing gold cross pendant Hubert carried in his scrip to remind him of his mother.

A GOOD LUCK CHARM OR A SINISTER WARNING?

Hubert's seemingly innocent act leads to dark revelations as Owen unravels a shocking chain of misfortune and murder linked to Hubert's precious possession. Can he discover the truth in time to prevent more deaths?
