Bad Money (A Stephen Attebrook Mystery)

Bad Money (A Stephen Attebrook Mystery)

Ludlow is a pleasant country town where not much happens except for the occasional murder or an attack by the savage Welsh, whose favorite pastime is the plundering of English villages when they are not fighting among themselves. Then a strange series of events strikes in what should have been a placid spring of recovery from the depredations of the Welsh â€” silver stolen from secret hoards in the dead of night while people were sleeping, a dead boy whom no one knows found in a gloverâ€™s back garden and a dead man floating in the privy pit at the Broken Shield Inn. On top of this, one of Ludlowâ€™s leading citizens disappears without a trace, and counterfeit pennies turn up in the innâ€™s possession. The penalties for possessing bad money can be dire even when one is blameless. Ludlowâ€™s deputy coroner, Stephen Attebrook, and his clerk and innkeeper, Gilbert Wistwode, would like nothing better than to enjoy the temperate spring weather, the Broken Shieldâ€™s sweet ale, and the innâ€™s other comforts. In what begins as an effort to save the Broken Shieldâ€™s reputation and to recover the missing silver of a neighboring widow, Stephen and Gilbert risk their lives and fortunes, embarking on the pursuit of those behind a desperate plot to mint false money â€” a plot that stretches into the upper reaches of English society and threatens the throne of King Henry.
