Lukitt Bachmann in the Lanterne de Mortes

Lukitt Bachmann is waiting in his Lanterne de Mortes, a Tower of the Dead, in the middle of a cemetery.

He's had a complicated life: son of a Herrnhuter Brother thrown out of his sect; help-meet to a pastor; sailor, fisherman, boar-hunter; student and lecturer exploring the varied histories of the Knights Teutonic and the bone-chapels their descendants left behind them.

He has become an assassin and a murderer, learned the terrible highs and lows of friendships made and lost, as is now awaiting his last remaining friend to set him free so he can put right past wrongs.

A Stunning Historical Thriller

From Clio Gray, acclaimed author of the Scottish Mystery Series, Gray's compelling novel is an ideal choice for readers of Erin Morgenstern, C.J. Sansom and Hilary Mantel.
