The Red Hand — Toby Venables

England, 1193. Guy of Gisburne, knight and agent to Prince John, is all that stands between England and anarchy, fighting a shadow battle to protect the kingdom from those who would destroy it.

Returning to England after foiling a plot to destroy Jerusalem, Guy of Gisburne is arrested and hauled to the Tower of London; John, England's regent in the absence of its monstrous King, needs his knight once more. A killer has broken into the Prince's most secure castle in the north and left a message, drawn on the skin of one of his victims: dies irae venit â€" ‘Judgement Day is coming' â€" signed with a bloody handprint. Is the threat genuine? Who, or what, is the Red Hand? Someone is killing John's most loyal supporters, and the obvious culprit â€" the most dangerous man in the Kingdom, Hood himself â€" has an alibi even Guy can't deny.
