SPITEFUL BONES
Restoring his recently inherited family home from crumbling estate to grand manor, the last thing young lawyer Nigellus Cobmartin and his companion, John Rykener, need is the addition of grim discoveries.

Whose bones are they? And why was the valuable relic buried with the thief? Crispin and his apprentice, Jack Tucker, are drawn into a crucible of dark secrets, family scandal and old grudges as they attempt to find the truth behind a pile of old bones.
