A Gift of Sanctuary - first US edition

by Candace Robb - signed

The sixth novel in the highly acclaimed series of medieval mysteries featuring the one-eyed spy Owen Archer. It is 1370 and France threatens to invade, while unrest brews in Wales. Using a pilgramage to St. David's as a cover, one-eyed spy Owen Archer journeys to the Duke of Lancaster's Welsh fortifications. Ostensibly to inspect the readiness of the troops, Archer is really tasked to determine if the Duke's steward is involved in a French plot to incite rebellion in Wales. Set in an authentic historic context, this is one of the better historic mystery authors.

Book has black boards with green stamping on the spine. Fine.

I personally collected the author's signature at Left Coast Crime in Portland, OR in March 2002.

Jacket is also fine, always protected, price intact, with a great cover illumination by David Senior.
