This book is historical fiction, placed in early England. The hero is a young man who has inherited some property, after his father dies. The young man, Heregar, unwisely says things against the king of England. A neighbor with covetous eyes encourages the young man to say more, and then brings this to the attention of the local authorities. As punishment Heregar is kicked out of society. He is outside the protection of the law, he is now an outlaw. At this point in time an outlaw didn't always mean a criminal. An outlaw was someone who was on his own.

The storyline allows Abby to flex her investigative muscles while trusting family and friends to keep her out of harm's way. She encounters plenty of suspicious and nefarious characters, but just exactly how many of them are bent on murder? Abby has to use all of her abilities - and those of everyone she knows - to catch a killer and help a young woman find peace and a place to belong. Wonderful job, Ms. Sweeney!
