The Deepest Grave is the latest Crispin Guest medieval noir mystery written by Jeri Westerson. Crispin is a former knight who was accused of treason and stripped of everything.

Crispin has managed to survive using these skills, providing a meager life for himself and his apprentice Jack Tucker, a former thief.

And after our hot, dry summers, a cool, breezy day is a welcome sight.
