520    In Chaucer's London, betrayal, murder, and intrigue swirl 
       around the existence of a prophetic book that foretells 
       the deaths of England's kings London, 1385. Surrounded by 
       ruthless courtiers-including his powerful uncle, John of 
       Gaunt, and Gaunt's artful mistress, Katherine Swynford-
       England's young king, Richard II, is in mortal peril. 
       Songs are heard across London-catchy verses said to 
       originate from an ancient book that prophesies the ends of
       England's kings-and among the book's predictions is 
       Richard's assassination. Only a few powerful men know that
       the cryptic lines derive from a "burnable book," a 
       seditious work that threatens the stability of the realm. 
       To find the manuscript, wily bureaucrat Geoffrey Chaucer 
       turns to fellow poet John Gower, a professional trader in 
       information with connections high and low. Gower discovers
       that the book and incriminating evidence about its author 
       have fallen into the unwitting hands of innocents, who 
       will be drawn into a conspiracy that reaches from the 
       king's court to London's slums and stews-and potentially 
       implicates Gower's own son. As the intrigue deepens, it 
       becomes clear that John Gower, a man with secrets of his 
       own, may hold the key to saving the king, and England 
       itself. Medieval scholar Bruce Holsinger draws on his vast
       knowledge of the period to add colorful, authentic detail-
       on everything from poetry and bookbinding to court 
       intrigues and brothels-to this highly entertaining and 
       brilliantly constructed literary mystery that brings 
       medieval England gloriously to life.
