Publisher's Summary

Becket: Book Three

1170. Canterbury. 

Thomas of London, the rebellious Archbishop of Canterbury, has made peace with Henry II, after six long years in exile. 

Henry and Thomas are both prepared to put past differences aside, but there is little trust left between the two former close friends and allies. A single ill-judged word or action could spark a conflict between the two men - and church and state. 

Thomas’ return to England threatens the interests of Henry’s barons and his enemies in the church. They will stop at nothing to destroy the popular, but proud, clergyman. Back in Canterbury, Thomas is intent on taking his revenge on those who conspired against him, whatever the consequences.

News that Thomas has excommunicated royal supporters soon reaches the King. It is the last straw for Henry. He explodes in a rage, calling on four knights to rid him of his "turbulent priest". They are words that will resound down the centuries and leave Henry with a lifetime of regret. 

The die is cast. 

With no hope of a lasting peace between the King and Archbishop, there can be only one, bloody conclusion. 

Jemahl Evans is the author of the acclaimed Sir Blandford Candy novel series. He lives in West Wales.
