Korte biografie
From fantasticfiction.com: Steven Veerapen was born in Glasgow and raised in Paisley, Scotland. Pursuing an interest in the sixteenth century, he was awarded a first-class Honours degree in English, focussing his dissertation on representations of Henry VIII's six wives. He then received a Masters in Renaissance studies, and a Ph.D. investigating Elizabethan slander. Steven is fascinated by the glamour and ghastliness of life in the 1500s, and has a penchant for myths, mysteries and murders in an age in which the law was as slippery as those who defied it.

In 1542 Simon Danforth and Arnaud Martin are sentvby Cardinal Beaton to Glasgow to investigate the libelous notes posted about his private life. While there Danforth decides to continue on his pilgrimage and travel to Paisley. Not long after their arrival shouts of murder are heard.
An enjoyable mystery with main characters which grew on me as the story progressed.
