About the Book

Gellis brings medieval London to life in all its splendour. Magdalene la Bastarde is the madam of the Old Priory Guesthouse in Southwark. People expect her to indulge in sinful activities, but not murder, until Baldassare dies. Sir Bellamy must find out how and why Baldassare died.

About the Author :
Roberta Gellis has a master's degree in medieval literature and another in bio-chemistry. She is the recipient of many awards, including the Romantic Times' Lifetime Achievement Award for Historical Fantasy and the Romance Writers of America Lifetime Achievement Award.

Review :
"A superb storyteller of extraordinary talent." --John Jakes "A master storyteller." --"Romantic Times" "Brother Cadfael, move over and make room for Magdalene. "A Mortal Bane" vibrates with sharp, witty, memorable characters; Magdalene and company are uniquely qualified as historical detectives, and as always, Roberta Gellis is incomparable! This one's a page-turner. I couldn't put it down." --Amanda Scott, author of "Dangerous Lady" "In Gellis's new series, she has created a superb female medieval sleuth with a sexy knight for a sidekick. You'll love every minute of this tightly woven mystery." --Catherine Coulter, author of "The Countess" "Roberta Gellis has crafted a superb story of passion, betrayal, and mystery. Entwined in the ingenious ploy is an honest, emotional thread that tugs at the heartstrings." --Susan Wiggs, author of "The Charm school" "In "A Mortal Bane, " Roberta Gellis has created a medieval cozy with a wonderfully unique cast of characters. Life in the twelfth century leaps into vivid focus." --Kathy Lynn Emerson, author of "Face Down Among the Winchester Geese" "Roberta Gellis and the medieval mystery are a perfect match. In "A Mortal Bane, " Gellis has created a rich, believable world and peopled it with fascinating characters." --Jo Beverley, author of "Forbidden Magic" ""A Mortal Bane" has a full cast of fascinating characters, a complex mystery plot, and a stunning sense of time and place. Wonderful!" --Jill Churchill, author of "Fear of Frying: A Jane Jeffry Mystery"
