The King's Bishop - first US edition

by Candace Robb - signed

The fourth novel in the highly acclaimed series of medieval mysteries featuring the one-eyed spy Owen Archer. Caught in the political battle between King Edward III and the Pope in 1367 over the concept of Pluralism (allowing Church leaders to hold political office), Owen Archer leads a mission to the powerful abbots of Fountains and Rievaulx to convince them to support the King's choice for the next Bishop of Winchester. Set in an authentic historic context, this is one of the better historic mystery authors.

Book has black boards with gold 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.
